SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 449
	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
