North Fort Worthhasgrown massively in the past few years. Let's look at it from just one perspective: food.

There are varying ideas of what comprises "north Fort Worth," with Hillwood offering one map spanning from Costco on the southern side to Argyle in the north, with Trophy Club and Haslet as east-west boundaries. North Fort Worth Alliance provides different geographic borders — North Tarrant Parkway on the south, Highway 377 to the east, Highway 156 (Blue Mound Road) to the west, and Highway 114 to the north. (That map includes parts of Denton County).
