Riverside Public School, Fort Worth, Texas
historic place
In Fort Worth's Riverside neighborhood, a community school system known as Trinity Bend began as early as 1876. Classes were initially held in a one-room schoolhouse, built by Dr. Eagle, a retired physician. The area was designated the Pendleton District in 1884, and fifteen years later, the name Riverside was adopted. Following Fort Worth's annexation of the Riverside Community in 1922, the school became part of the city's educational system. In 1941, the school at this location was named Amon G. Carter Riverside High School, honoring the Fort Worth businessman and philanthropist. A historical marker, erected in 1983 by the Texas Historical Commission, commemorates this site's significant role in the development of public education in Fort Worth.
