H.R. No. 375 is a resolution recognizing February 26, 2025, as Pearland Day at the State Capitol in Texas. The resolution highlights the history and development of Pearland, which was established in 1893 and named for the abundance of pear trees in the area. Despite facing challenges such as hurricanes and agricultural setbacks, Pearland experienced significant growth, particularly after the discovery of oil and gas in 1934. The city has maintained its unique character while benefiting from its proximity to Houston and various attractions, earning recognition as an All-America City in 1999.
The resolution also acknowledges the efforts of the local chamber of commerce in promoting the city's development and the importance of its highly rated school system and partnerships with local colleges in workforce development. Pearland's rich history, marked by resilience and growth, is celebrated as the community continues to thrive and uphold its traditions. The House of Representatives extends best wishes to the visiting delegation from Pearland for a meaningful visit to Austin.
