Central Handley was designated as a Fort Worth historic district in 2001 and entered in the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. This commercial district was built between 1910-1930 and was home to a bustling tourism business for the early part of the 20th century, as people took the Interurban streetcar to visit the nearby Lake Eerie trolley park and amusement hall. Travelers could also take the Interurban to Handley and then take a Texas and Pacific train to other parts of the country. 

Central Handley uses the Secretary of the Interiors Standards and Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring & Reconstructing Historic Buildings.
