The Story of Edgecliff Village
Edgecliff Village is a small residential town tucked just south of Fort Worth, perched — as its name suggests — along the edge of the bluffs in south-central Tarrant County.
The community took shape in the postwar years, when the booming defense economy around Fort Worth created demand for new neighborhoods. Carswell Air Force Base in the 1940s and the General Dynamics aircraft plants of the 1950s fueled its growth.
Residents moved quickly to govern themselves: a petition went to the county judge in December 1950, and on January 20, 1951, voters approved incorporation by a lopsided 31 to 1, forming the Village of Edgecliff.
Its population climbed to about 500 in the 1950s, and Edgecliff Village has remained a compact, independent enclave surrounded by the much larger city of Fort Worth.

History
Founded 1951
A Cold War village on Sycamore Creek
Edgecliff Village took shape on the bluffs above Sycamore Creek just south of Fort Worth in the years after World War II, when Carswell Air Force Base and the General Dynamics bomber plant on Fort Worth's west side drove a regional housing boom. Residents of the new subdivision wanted to control their own zoning rather than be annexed by Fort Worth. They filed a petition to incorporate in December 1950 and on January 20, 1951 voted 31 to 1 to form the Village of Edgecliff. The first village officers were elected on April 3, 1951. The community has stayed a small, quiet residential pocket of about one square mile, with schools split between Crowley ISD and Fort Worth ISD.
