WHEREAS, Proud residents of Sachse are gathering in Austin | ||
on February 22, 2017, to celebrate Sachse Day at the State | ||
Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, Situated in far northeastern Dallas County and | ||
southern Collin County, the settlement was formed in 1886, when | ||
William C. Sachse donated land to the Gulf, Colorado, and Santa | ||
Fe Railway; the town received a post office that same year, | ||
registered under the name Saxie, which was changed to Sachse in | ||
1892; and | ||
WHEREAS, The first Sachse school was constructed in the | ||
early 1900s, and the building doubled as the city hall and | ||
church; economic development continued and the population grew | ||
steadily after 1940, and Sachse's historic schools joined the | ||
Garland Independent School District in a partnership that | ||
continues to provide young Texans with quality educational | ||
opportunities; and | ||
WHEREAS, By the 1980s, Sachse had developed into a suburb | ||
of Garland, and residents today enjoy the numerous amenities | ||
offered by the nearby city, including the Firewheel Town Center; | ||
moreover, because of its proximity to the President George Bush | ||
Turnpike, Sachse has remained an important transportation and | ||
business center; and | ||
WHEREAS, Honoring their heritage as they work to build an | ||
even brighter future, the citizens of Sachse may take great pride | ||
in the enduring role their community has played in the story of | ||
the Lone Star State, and they are indeed deserving of special | ||
recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, hereby recognize February 22, 2017, as Sachse Day at | ||
the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere | ||
best wishes for a meaningful and memorable stay in Austin. | ||
Taylor of Collin | ||
