Dalworthington Gardens is a city in Tarrant County, Texas, United States. The population was 2,259 at the 2010 census. ==History== The community was established in 1934 as a subsistence homestead project during the Great Depression under the authority of the National Industrial Recovery Act as part of the Subsistence Homesteads Division. The purpose of the homestead program was to help families attain a better standard of living through a combination of part-time industrial employment and subsistence agriculture. Dalworthington Gardens was one of five such projects located in Texas. Its inclusion in group was at the suggestion of Eleanor Roosevelt, who happened upon the area while visiting the Fort Worth family of the woman to whom her and President Roosevelt's son Elliot had become engaged. Of the five sites selected for this program, Dalworthington "colony" as it was originally called, is the only one still in existence today. Since it has been in constant operation from its inception, it maintains its original zoning regulations, which allow subsistence farming and livestock on any lots over one half acre that remain owned and occupied from the time the zoning was first put into effect. Thus, one can see small, older frame homes with livestock on their lot, near and even adjacent to large modern homes with values in excess of one million dollars. 〔 The name of the community is a portmanteau of parts of names of the three anchor cities of the Metroplex: Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington. Due to its governmental structure, along with its physical size and population, Dalworthington Gardens is one of the smallest cites in the United States in both these respects. 〔
