Fort Worth is a dynamic and diverse city. Fort Worth has undergone many changes in its history. There has been the transformation from its roots as Cowtown to the modern center for technology, transportation, education, and bio-technology/medicine that it is today. But the roots are still there supporting the structure of the city as it is today.
The people of Fort Worth, while embracing today, take pride in their past and actively preserve as much of the past as possible. This is evident in the way the city has developed. The core neighborhoods near downtown have a rich history and instead of being torn down for new construction they have been lovingly tended and preserved. Like most cities, the further one travels form downtown the newer the neighborhoods become. But in Fort Worth's case that is never far. The average commute form the farthest point in Fort Worth to downtown is typically less than 20 minutes.
The neighborhoods described here are by no means all of the neighborhoods in Fort Worth but are the ones that I know best. Wini Klien, who researched and produced the Book of Neighborhoods, provided the information. I hope these descriptions help give you a feel for the great city of Fort Worth and the friendliest people in the world who I am proud to call my neighbors.
