75 Years of History

On October 30, 1941, River Oaks was incorporated as a village. Since the area

incorporated was not located entirely in “the Castleberry area” the village was named for the

river and oak trees and became River Oaks Village. On May 7, 1946 the Board of Aldermen

changed the name to the City of River Oaks. The City Charter was officially enacted

on January 11, 1949.

In 1942, the Army Air Force constructed and operated Tarrant Field Air Dome adjacent to the

newly built Consolidated Aircraft Corporation’s B-24 “Liberator” bomber manufacturing

facility, known today as Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems. Early in the 1950’s, the

field became a part of the Strategic Air Command and was renamed Carswell Air Force

Base, which remained in operation for over 40 years. In 1994 Carswell was designated as a

Joint Reserve Base to be shared by the Navy, Marines, Air Force and Texas National Guard.

Over the years River Oaks has been a prime location for base personnel to locate.

 

The first year that River Oaks appeared in the US Census was 1950, with a population of

7,097. The current population according to the 2010 census is 7,427 up from the 2000

population of 6,985 according to the 2010 Census. This growth pattern emphasizes the need

for River Oaks to maintain its only identity and distinguish itself as unique and different from

other suburban cities.
