Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the city of Hialeah, Florida.
This is a House Resolution (H. Res. 325) introduced in the 119th Congress by Rep. Diaz-Balart to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the city of Hialeah, Florida. The resolution recognizes Hialeah’s incorporation in 1925 and its growth from a small community of about 1,500 residents to a major city with more than 236,000 residents. It highlights the city’s diverse cultural heritage, ties to notable people and institutions (including Glenn Curtiss, Amelia Earhart, Hialeah Park Racetrack, Sedanos, Vicky Bakery, KC and the Sunshine Band, and Bernard Cap), and its role in regional and national history and economy. The text notes Hialeah’s significant Cuban-American population and its status as a major economic and cultural contributor in South Florida and the United States. The resolution expresses three main conclusions: to congratulate Hialeah on its 100th anniversary, recognize its economic and cultural impact, and commend the people of Hialeah for their contributions to the United States.
