                      Wednesday, October 16, 2019

  Mr. ROUDA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the 
150th Anniversary of the City of Santa Ana, California on October 27, 
2019.
  The City or Santa Ana was founded on October 27, 1869 by William H. 
Spurgeon. Santa Ana rapidly became a hub for commercial, financial, and 
manufacturing businesses. To this day, the city remains a key pillar to 
Orange County and its culture.
  The City of Santa Ana, commonly regarded by locals as ``Downtown 
Orange County'' or as the Golden City for its impressive culture and 
lively history, is the second most-populous city in Orange County with 
more than 300,000 residents. Located just a few miles away from the 
Pacific Ocean, Santa Ana is home to an array of attractions, including 
the Santa Ana Zoo, Grand Central Art Center, Bowers Museum of Cultural 
Art, and Discovery Museum of Orange County.
  Today I ask that all Members join me in recognizing the 150th 
anniversary of the vibrant and wonderful City of Santa Ana, California.
