In the early 1890s, Humphrey Barker Chamberlin installed a lifeline
to his namesake suburb west of the city. A trolley connected to
Arlington Heights Boulevard at the Trinity River's Clear Fork and
chugged across prairie land to reach Chamberlin Arlington Heights.
Camp Bowie, a soldiers' city, sprawled over both sides of the road
from 1917 until 1919. At the Great War's end, the stretch west of
present-day University Drive became the commemorative Camp Bowie
Boulevard. The 1920s brought twin ribbons of cordovan-colored brick
pavement, the prestige of inclusion in the Bankhead Highway
network, and westering developers of another elite village:
Ridglea. Midway through the Great Depression, the Will Rogers
complex arose on a farm tract, visible from the thoroughfare, to
host Texas Centennial celebrations and a special livestock
exposition. Museums began claiming adjacent space in the 1950s. By
the second decade of the 21st century, Camp Bowie Boulevard
bisected a built environment both modern and historic.
