Fort Worth is called the city "Where the West Begins," and
100 years ago, the neighborhood known as Fairmount was where
the south side ended. Now considered inner city, the
Fairmount Southside Historic District is actually numerous
smaller subdivisions including the largest, the Fairmount
addition, and the smallest, the dubiously named Swastika
Place. The neighborhoods were home to early merchants,
lawyers, judges, artists, and small-business owners-many of
whom went on to local and national fame. Today that legacy
continues. Fairmount welcomes new generations of urban
pioneers and benefits from a neighborhood renaissance that
has brought this historically and architecturally
significant gem of the city back from the brink of extinction.
