Marker Number: 650 Marker Text: In 1917-18, this roadway was the main artery through Camp Bowie, a World War I training center. Narrow strips of asphalt paving flanked streetcar tracks that ran the length of the avenue, then called Arlington Heights Boulevard. After the war, business and residential development spread into this area. In 1919 the street was renamed Camp Bowie Boulevard. In 1927-28, like many of the major thoroughfares in Fort Worth, it was paved with durable Thurber bricks. Today this street is a reminder of Fort Worth's heritage and a source of pride to area residents. (1979)
