	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Proud residents of Johnson County are gathering in
	Austin on March 25, 2025, in celebration of Johnson County Day at
	the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Located in North Central Texas on the southwestern
	edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Johnson County covers
	approximately 740 square miles; among the first known settlers of
	the region was Henry Briden, who made his home along the Nolan River
	in 1849; the county went on to be established in 1854, and it was
	named in honor of Middleton T. Johnson, a veteran of the Mexican
	War, a frontiersman, and a legislator; and
	WHEREAS, During its early years, the county's economy was
	driven by agriculture, primarily through corn, cotton, and
	livestock production; in the mid- to late-1800s, several rail lines
	were built through the region, and in 1898, the Santa Fe Railroad
	established maintenance shops in the county seat of Cleburne; these
	shops encompassed construction facilities and a switchyard and
	brought economic growth and job opportunities to the area; today,
	the county's leading industries include retail trade, health care
	and social assistance, and manufacturing; and
	WHEREAS, Johnson County boasts a number of attractions, among
	them Cleburne State Park, Hamm Creek Park, the Cleburne Railroad
	Museum, and the Mansfield Historic Museum and Heritage Center;
	higher education institutions in the region include Southwestern
	Adventist University and Hill College; and
	WHEREAS, Offering an attractive rural setting combined with
	proximity to urban amenities, Johnson County is an outstanding
	place to live, work, and raise a family, and its citizens may indeed
	take pride in their community's unique contributions to the story
	of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 89th Texas Legislature
	hereby recognize March 25, 2025, as Johnson County Day at the State
	Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the visiting delegation.
