The name “Carter” comes from J.F.W., Sr.’s grandfather who came to Texas around 1850-1860 for gold mining in California then settled here after hearing about good water sources in nearby Dallas/Fort Worth area.” In 1898 he bought land at Old Mansfield Road and Oak Street where he built a house and raised his family. He was the first settler in this area of Fort Worth that became known as Carter Riverside.”
