In 1902 the Rock Island railroad began acquiring right-of-way for a new track between Dallas and Fort Worth. The railroad sought right-of-way from farmer William Letchworth Hurst, who owned land along near present-day Highway 10/Hurst Boulevard (including land where Bell Helicopter is today).
William Hurst agreed to grant the Rock Island railroad a right-of-way if the railroad would build a station on his land and name the station after him. The Rock Island railroad got its right-of-way, William Hurst got his “Hurst Station,” and a town—also originally named “Hurst Station”—grew up around the station. The town, still known as “Hurst Station” into the 1930s, incorporated as “Hurst” in 1950.
Hurst is a suburb of Fort Worth. Hurst has a suburban feel, which can be nice for families looking for more space than larger densely packed cities for the money and a good area to raise children. Hurst truly has something for everyone, and that’s why it’s a great place to call home. Hurst is a great place to live. Hurst is in Tarrant County and is one of the best places to live in Texas.
Explore the downtown area in search of museums and boutiques…or that next delicious meal. What tickles your fancy? A delectable five-course supper at the restaurant you’ve been hearing about. Or perhaps you’d rather read the paper while sipping hot coffee at one of the cafes scattered throughout town. Take in a show at the theatre, or just walk along down the main thoroughfare, watching people wander past.
The Capitol Hill neighborhood has numerous high quality schools in the area as well as in the surrounding Seattle neighborhoods.
