The resolution commemorates the 200th anniversary of the founding of Gonzales, Texas, which will be celebrated in 2025. Established in 1825 at the confluence of the Guadalupe and San Marcos Rivers, Gonzales has a rich history, including its role as the capital of DeWitt's colony and the site of the pivotal Battle of Gonzales during the Texas Revolution. The town faced challenges in its early years, including the aftermath of the Battle of the Alamo, but it was rebuilt and grew significantly by 1880, featuring various community amenities and a population of 2,900.

Today, Gonzales is home to over 7,000 residents and is known for its historical attractions, such as the Gonzales Memorial Museum and the annual Come and Take It Celebration, which honors its revolutionary past. The resolution expresses pride in the city's heritage and acknowledges the contributions of its citizens to Texas history, extending best wishes for a meaningful bicentennial celebration.
