The Fort Worth Timeline is a database driven website reflecting the city’s history in timeline form. The idea for a permanent project reflecting Fort Worth’s rich and diverse heritage evolved during planning for Fort Worth’s Sesquicentennial in 1999. Fort Worth Councilman Frank Moss, at the suggestion of history consultant Joyce Williams, asked Bill Campbell to gather a group of local historians and other citizens interested in preserving the city’s heritage to create such a project. The group, led by Chairman Quentin McGown, Vice-Chairman Bill Campbell and approximately 30 historians and civic leaders from all parts of the city, developed the Fort Worth Timeline. The Fort Worth Timeline includes textual entries, images, video and audio highlighting the many significant events in the life and growth of Fort Worth.
