Bill > HR400

This resolution commemorates the 100th anniversary of University Park's incorporation, a city located five miles north of downtown Dallas that was officially established on April 12, 1924. Originally developing around Southern Methodist University (SMU), the community began as housing for university teachers and staff, and has since grown into a thriving suburb with over 25,000 residents, known for being one of the most affluent and highly educated communities in the nation. The resolution highlights the city's significant development over the past century, its proximity to cultural and business activities, and its attractive characteristics including beautiful homes and parks. The Texas House of Representatives formally recognizes University Park's contributions to the state, commemorates its centennial milestone, and extends best wishes to its residents, ultimately directing that an official copy of the resolution be prepared for the city as an expression of respect and recognition.
