THE 28 FEBRUARY 1995 ANNEXATION, CARRIED BY THE PARCELS THEMSELVES

The town's largest neighborhood carries its own annexation record in its deeds: parcels in Moran Addition — the roster's largest at 44 — carry in their legal descriptions the notation "Annexed Per Ord 2/28/95," and the five parcels of Nutlawn Addition carry the same ordinance date: the town's annexation of 28 February 1995, preserved not in a narrative source but in the county's parcel fabric itself, lot by lot. The Zimmer family of plats, about 22 parcels across Zimmer's 1st and 2nd and their replats, belongs to the town's older addition era on the same ground, its descriptions carrying Franklin Street as a street equation. One shared name is printed with its limit stated: Moran Addition shares its name with Moran Elementary School, the school the Penn-Harris-Madison district built as Moran School in 1951 on its 33-acre site (the Schools section's record) — the shared name is a fact of the map, and no naming link between the addition and the school is asserted, because no source reached states one. The annexation course as a whole — the litigated ordinance of 3 May 1993 that the Kirk case tested, this 1995 ordinance, and the census footnotes — closes this section below; here the point is the instrument's: in Osceola, the parcel layer is itself a primary record of the town's growth, ordinance dates included.
