SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 260
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
welcome the visiting delegation from Pearland on the occasion of
Pearland Day at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, The City of Pearland was established in 1893 and
named for the many fruit trees that grew in the area; hurricanes
and other harsh weather made agricultural life difficult in the
initial decades of the city's history, but the city began to
thrive after oil and gas were discovered in 1934; and
WHEREAS, Today, the city boasts a flourishing economy and
an effective school system; the local chamber of commerce works
diligently to continue the city's course of successful development
and helps to keep the citizenry informed on matters that affect
the community; and
WHEREAS, Residents of Pearland enjoy the benefit of
proximity to Houston and Galveston attractions while cherishing
the unique charm of their beloved community, which was recognized
by the National Civic League in 1999 as an All-America City; and
WHEREAS, Pearland is an outstanding place in which to live,
work, and raise a family, and citizens can indeed take pride in
the place they call home; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby recognize February 25, 2015, as Pearland Day
at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation best
wishes for a memorable day in Austin; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of this special occasion.
Taylor of Galveston
