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
