About This Square Mile

The Fort Worth neighborhood of Lake Como is an island.

Located in the predominantly affluent west side of Fort Worth, this community has been home to generations of African Americans.

Many of the early residents moved here to work in the surrounding neighborhoods as domestic laborers.

In the generations that followed, Lake Como went through many changes, including desegregation, and gentrification.
