From Congressional Record 106th Congress: On June 30, 2000, citizens in this small West Texas town will gather to celebrate Stamford's Centennial. Founded by owners of the SMS Ranches and the President of the Texas Central Railway, Stamford will honor the Centennial with the unveiling of a large sculpture made of steel that depicts a mounted cowboy meeting the railroad. The sculpture acknowledges the two industries--agriculture and railways--that contributed to the City's founding.
