Wow I fond more history on sweeny on wikipedia

1833: John Sweeny settles just outside what will become a town bearing his name.
1905: Railroad reaches town.
1912: Independent school system formed.
1914: Population reaches 200.
1934: Old ocean oilfield discovered.
1945: City incorporated.
1967: City park built.
1988: Community Center / Library completed.
1993: City's first K9 dog killed by two teens, later convicted.
2001: Two trains collide head-on just outside Sweeny city limits.
2002: Tropical Storm Fay dumps over 20 inches (510 mm) of rain in Sweeny, flooding most roads.
2004: Sweeny gets Christmas snow, with almost 10 inches reported in some places.
2005: Almost all of Sweeny emptied when Hurricane Rita threatened Texas.
2007: Running out of space to grow, Sweeny plans to start annexing land.
2008: Sweeny's mayoral race is decided by 1 vote. Rodney Weems beat Phyllis Kittinger for the title.

It's amazing what you can find on wikipedia.

Lets see here. My home town was founded in 1838 and it officially became a Charter City of Ohio in 1960. One notable thing is that my hometown claims the title of the "Crossroads of America" because the two major interstates I-70 and I-75 cross here. Up until a few years ago, we also were home of the Amateur Trapshoot Association Hall of Fame and there was an annual Trapshoot Association event.
