SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 378
WHEREAS, Proud residents of Cedar Hill are visiting Austin
on March 6, 2013, to pay tribute to their city's rich heritage and
to celebrate Cedar Hill Day at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Founded in the 1850s, Cedar Hill lies in the
rolling terrain of southwestern Dallas County; a post office was
opened there in 1852, and for some time a branch of the Chisholm
Trail connected the area to the main trail near Fort Worth;
although a devastating tornado hit the small community in 1856,
the area rebuilt and witnessed slow yet steady growth; and
WHEREAS, Joe Pool Lake opened in 1989, leading to a
dramatic expansion of the city's population, and today Cedar Hill
contains three distinctive areas, Uptown, Midtown, and Downtown,
each of which has its own experiences and amenities; downtown
Cedar Hill offers visitors a glimpse into the town's history
through walking tours of local monuments and the annual Country
Day on the Hill celebration that draws thousands of visitors
every fall; the newly developed Uptown Village has many local
boutiques, national chains, and fine dining establishments;
located between these two areas, Midtown has the most stand-alone
shopping opportunities in the city, as well as various
restaurants and a new multiplex; and
WHEREAS, Visitors and residents alike enjoy the plentiful
outdoor activities available at Cedar Hill State Park, which,
with the adjoining Joe Pool Lake, draws hikers, cyclists,
mountain bikers, campers, fishers, and water sports enthusiasts
from across the state; moreover, the nearby Dogwood Canyon
of flora and fauna from East, West, and Central Texas present in
this unique park; and
WHEREAS, A lush natural environment with all the benefits
of a modern city, Cedar Hill is an excellent community to visit,
live in, work, and raise a family, and its citizens may take great
pride in their continuing contributions to the Lone Star State;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 83rd Texas Legislature
hereby recognize March 6, 2013, as Cedar Hill Day at the State
Capitol and extend sincere best wishes to the city's delegation
for a memorable visit to Austin.
