H.R. No. 392 is a resolution recognizing March 4, 2025, as Pleasanton Day at the State Capitol, honoring the residents of Pleasanton for their contributions to Texas. Established in 1858 as the county seat of Atascosa County, Pleasanton has a rich history, including its role as a key hub for cattle drivers, earning it the nickname "Birthplace of the Cowboy." The city, which is home to over 11,000 residents, maintains its small-town charm while benefiting from proximity to San Antonio and hosting vibrant annual celebrations such as Cowboy Heritage Days and a Fourth of July festival.
The resolution highlights Pleasanton's economic diversification beyond farming and ranching into sectors like oil and gas, retail, and healthcare, making it a significant shopping and business destination in the region. The Pleasanton Independent School District and Coastal Bend College provide educational opportunities for local students and residents. The resolution acknowledges the community's commitment to preserving its heritage while embracing future opportunities, making it fitting to celebrate their unique contributions to the state of Texas.
