Polytechnic Heights and Stop Six

Polytechnic Heights grew around a college. Three local businessmen, W. D. Hall, A. S. Hall and George Tandy, gave a large tract southeast of the city for Polytechnic College, which opened in 1891 and is the forerunner of Texas Wesleyan University, and the city annexed Polytechnic Heights in 1922. Stop Six, farther east, takes its name from the sixth stop on the Northern Texas Traction Company's interurban between Fort Worth and Dallas. Amanda Davis, the first African American to live there, bought an acre of land around 1896, and the community's school, begun as the Prairie Chapel Colored School, moved in 1925 into a building paid for by the school district, the residents and the Rosenwald Foundation, which later became Dunbar Middle School. Fort Worth was the last major city in Texas to adopt an integration plan, in 1963, and Dunbar was one of three schools built for Black students that it turned into neighborhood junior-senior high schools. The City approved the Stop Six overlay, a zoning district of about 3,000 acres, on 10 September 2019, and the City's Historic Carver Heights district lies inside it. 2 guides are listed below.

Both guides are Fort Worth ISD, the district the arithmetic on this site's calculators is built on, at 1.0291 per $100 for 2025. The overlay is the thing to check in Stop Six: it is a zoning rule this site could not read from the City, so what it asks of an owner or a builder is worth settling before the offer, as is whether a house is inside the Historic Carver Heights district. The East Side has only two guides for now. Handley, Oakhurst and Woodhaven, each a neighborhood association's area on the City's map, are the next to be written, and each will be checked against Interstate 30 and Interstate 35W before it is placed in an area.
