Bill > S0490

This Senate resolution celebrates the 150th anniversary of Westminster, South Carolina, recognizing the city's rich history and contributions to the state. The resolution highlights that Westminster was officially incorporated on March 17, 1875, when Dr. Johns and Albert Zimmerman purchased and surveyed 25 acres of land, with Mr. Zimmerman constructing the first house and store, which helped establish the town as a commercial center centered around the railroad. The resolution also notes the city's significant industrial history, particularly its textile mills, with Beacon Mill being a major employer until 2002. The Senate formally congratulates Westminster on reaching its 150-year milestone and commends its citizens for their dedicated service to the people and State of South Carolina. As a final action, the resolution stipulates that a copy of the document will be presented to Westminster's current mayor, Brian Ramey, as an official acknowledgment of the city's historic achievement.
