Oakhurst History
The neighborhood of Oakhurst has its roots beginning in 1923-24 when Fort Worth businessmen and brothers, John King and Henry King, began development through their company aptly named the Oakhurst Land Company, Inc. The area was experiencing rapid growth associated with an oil boom. Over the decades that followed, up until the current day, Oakhurst has experienced times of growth in step with the city of Fort Worth and the greater Riverside area, particularly during post-war times. Fort Worth continues to develop into one of America’s most progressive cities, and Oakhurst’s commitment to the quality of life for its residents continues to progress as well.
Oakhurst Today
Nearly a century after the Kings first began their development; it is fascinating to compare their vision for Oakhurst with the neighborhood as it exists today. Oakhurst retains much of its original charm, and it is now listed as a Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. The winding streets of West Oakhurst and mature oak trees throughout the neighborhood still reflect the original design intent of Hare and Hare, a preeminent landscape architecture firm hired by the King brothers during the period of Oakhurst’s initial development. To this day, Oakhurst residents take great pride in their homes, look out for the well-being of their neighbors, and continue to make the neighborhood a wonderful place to call home.
