Black, a druggist of Tarrant County, set aside out of the north end of the deeded to him by A.C. Roberts (being a part of the Samuel Needham survey) for a town site to be known as Athol, situated northeast of Fort Worth. The land was dedicated to the public for streets and alleyways, but title to the remainder of the was held by Mr. Black.
