Do you know what major milestone happens in 2026? The City of Dalworthington Gardens turns 90 years old!

This is a major milestone for the place our mayor calls ‘the best place to live’, so please join us in celebrating this milestone.

It was also happenstance that First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt came to the home of Carl Mosig, with her son Elliott later that year. This chance meeting led Eleanor to believe she had located the perfect spot for one of her husband’s Subsistence Homestead Program sites that were part of the New Deal. Did you know the homes that were built for the Dalworthington Gardens Subsistence Homestead Program only cost around $3,000 to $4,000? M...
