Bill > HRes325

This resolution commemorates the 100th anniversary of Hialeah, Florida, a city founded in 1925 that has grown from 1,500 residents to over 236,000 today. The resolution highlights the city's rich history, including its founding by aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss and cattleman James Bright, its significance during World War II as a manufacturing center, and its cultural importance as a predominantly Hispanic community (95% Latino, with 84.1% of Cuban descent). The resolution celebrates Hialeah's notable achievements, such as being home to businesses like Sedanos grocery stores and Vicky Bakery, and musical groups like KC and the Sunshine Band. It also recognizes the city's economic strength as a major employer in Miami-Dade County and its role as a home for Cuban exiles. The House of Representatives officially congratulates Hialeah on its centennial, recognizes its economic and cultural impact on South Florida and the United States, and commends its residents for their significant contributions to the nation's prosperity and history.
