It’s safe to say that over the decades, FTW has been touched by countless historical figures and happenings — many of which have shaped the names of Cowtown’s buildings, parks, and streets. Today, let’s delve into the history of Fort Worth’s streets — specifically how they were named.
Lancaster Street — renamed for John Lynch Lancaster, the president of the Texas and Pacific Railroad in 1931. It was originally known as Front Street in the 1880s. Learn more about the major transportation hub.
Will Rogers Road — named after William Penn Adair Rogers, an American vaudeville performer, who was famous for cowboy and Wild West entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. The street provides access to the Will Rogers Memorial Center.
Hemphill Street — named for John Hemphill, who served as a chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court from 1845-1858. At one time, the street was one of the most elegant avenues in town with a trolley car line.
Foch Street — (pronounced foʊsh)renamed for World War I French military commander Ferdinand Foch in 1922. Previously, it was known as Franklin Street.

I highly recommend grabbing your best girlfriends and trying out Cosmic Dance. Take it from someone who has tried the class before, you’re only uncomfortable for the first five minutes, but afterwards, you just get used to it. You even laugh a little. So put your hands up, shake your hips a little, practice your handstand — do whatever is freeing to you. No one is going to judge.
