WHEREAS, Proud residents of Fulshear are gathering in | ||
Austin to celebrate Fulshear Day at the State Capitol on April | ||
13, 2015; and | ||
WHEREAS, Situated in northwestern Fort Bend County, | ||
Fulshear began as a small farming community that grew up in the | ||
1820s around the cotton gin and flour mill of the plantation of | ||
Churchill Fulshear, one of Stephen F. Austin's original Old Three | ||
Hundred settlers; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 1888, the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railroad | ||
moved into the area, and in 1890, the town of Fulshear was laid | ||
out; that same year, the town received a post office, and three | ||
years later, a school district was established; for many years, | ||
it was a marketing center for local agricultural products such as | ||
rice, cotton, soybeans, pecans, and cattle; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, Fulshear is drawing many new residents who | ||
are attracted by its small-town charm and proximity to the urban | ||
amenities of Houston; the population of the city is booming, and | ||
it is one of the fastest-growing communities in Fort Bend County; | ||
to prepare for continued expansion, the city is upgrading its | ||
streets and roads to accommodate a number of proposed | ||
master-planned developments while also working to attract | ||
premier retailers to the area; and | ||
WHEREAS, Proud of their relaxed and comfortable lifestyle | ||
and friendly business environment, the residents of Fulshear | ||
continue to honor their rich history as they look forward to a | ||
future bright with promise; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
Legislature, hereby recognize April 13, 2015, as Fulshear Day at | ||
the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere | ||
best wishes for an enjoyable and informative stay in Austin. | ||
