This resolution recognizes March 25, 2025, as Parker County Day at the State Capitol, celebrating the county's rich history and current significance. Established in 1855 and named after Isaac Parker, the county has evolved from a frontier settlement to a diverse economic region located on the western edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The resolution highlights Parker County's historical development, including the founding of key towns like Springtown and Weatherford, and its current economic strengths in agriculture, featuring beef cattle, dairy cows, horses, pecans, and peaches. The county is particularly noted for Weatherford, which boasts attractions like Clark Gardens, the Doss Heritage and Culture Center, and is known as both the Peach Capital of Texas and the Cutting Horse Capital of the World. The resolution serves to commemorate the county's unique history, recognize its cultural contributions, and extend a warm welcome to the Parker County delegation visiting the Texas State Capitol on the specified date.
