When the Vision of the Old River-Winfree Founders Day was brought to a vote, the City Council of Old River-Winfree said "Yes". They provide the behind the scenes necessities of the "Founders Day" that doesn't get talked about or applauded, but must be provided nonetheless. A Municipal Government that silently backs its citizens and tries to make this a better town in everything they do.

Old River-Winfree, Texas is a town heaped in History and Tradition. Founders Day commemorates and celebrates the founding of our community, promotes cooperation and volunteerism in the community, generates community spirit and recreation, and enhances the economic welfare of the town.

July 1979, Old River-Winfree was incorporated joining the two towns of Old River (North of Old River Bridge) and Winfree (South of Old River Bridge). This incorporation declared independence against the threat of further taxation.

Old River-Winfree Founders Day celebrates not just the original settlers from the early 1800’s, but also, that independent spirit of those that gathered on that hot July day to band together and incorporate the town of Old River-Winfree. This is part of the heritage and pride of our town.

At the December 2010 meeting of the ORWFD Team, it was voted to move Old River-Winfree Founders Day from the 3rd weekend in July to the 2nd weekend in October.
