| 4 | 4 | | Capitol; and |

| 5 | 5 | | WHEREAS, Located in the Cross Timber country of North |
|---|
| 6 | 6 | | Central Texas, the settlement was first established by pioneers |

| 7 | 7 | | in the 1840s; in the late 1850s, R. S. Man and Julian Feild built |

| 11 | 11 | | street from the mill, and he became postmaster in 1860; though |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | incorporated in 1909, the town remained a farming community until |

| 15 | 15 | | WHEREAS, Today, residents can enjoy 240 acres of parks and |
