As we celebrate the Fourth of July, we also honor a remarkable milestone in our nation's history—the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. For two and a half centuries, America has stood as a beacon of freedom, opportunity, courage, and resilience because of the sacrifices of those who came before us.
Here in Zachary, we are equally proud of our own rich heritage. Since our incorporation on August 2, 1889, generations of dedicated citizens have built a community rooted in faith, family, hard work, and service. In just a few weeks, we will proudly celebrate 137 years as the City of Zachary.
Standing beside our historic 1943 Ford American LaFrance Fire Truck, I am reminded that preserving our history helps inspire our future. This fire truck represents the men and women who have faithfully served and protected our community for generations, and it reflects the same spirit of dedication that continues to make Zachary such a special place to call home.
On behalf of my family and the entire City of Zachary, I wish you and your loved ones a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day. May God continue to bless the United States of America and the City of Zachary.
Happy Fourth of July!
— Mayor David McDavid
