Senate Resolution No. 172 recognizes March 5, 2025, as Wichita Falls Day at the State Capitol, celebrating the proud residents of Wichita Falls, Texas. The resolution highlights the city's rich history, beginning with its founding in 1882 following the arrival of the Fort Worth and Denver City Railroad, which significantly boosted the local agricultural economy. Over the years, Wichita Falls evolved into a vital shipping junction, experienced a boom from oil discoveries, and developed a strong manufacturing sector, earning it the nickname "Factory City." The community has shown resilience, notably recovering from a devastating tornado in 1979, and has grown to a population of over 100,000.

Today, Wichita Falls is recognized for its family-friendly environment, extensive parks, and diverse amenities, including educational institutions and healthcare facilities. The city is strategically located near major metropolitan areas and continues to thrive economically, supported by the efforts of the Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce. The resolution expresses pride in the contributions of Wichita Falls to Texas and extends a warm welcome to the visiting delegation on this special day.
