Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Fort Worth

A small number of Jews were drawn to Fort Worth during its early years. Among the first were Simon Gabert, who came in 1856, and Jacob Samuels, who opened a dry goods store in the town the following year. When newspaper editor Charles Wessolowsky visited Fort Worth in 1879, he found about 100 Jews, all of whom he claimed “are industrious, hardworking and energetic people. The Jewish community grew from 2,200 people in 1937 to 2,800 in 1960. The community revolved around two congregations Ahavath Sholom and Beth-El. Over the last few decades, the Fort Worth Jewish community has continued to grow, increasing from 3,600 people in 1984 to 5,000 in 2001. Both of these congregations are located near South Hulen St. to the south-east of the city. There are now 2 other congregations a Chabad and Beth Yeshua, both situated to the south in Edgecliff Village. Kosher food can be bought at various supermarkets.
