For the first time in Kennedale History, “Carry the Load” selected Kennedale as a stop on their tour.
It was a very moving remembrance to fallen First Responders and Military.
Thanks to KFD Chief Peterson for organizing this touching gathering and walk to pay tribute to those lost, like his son, Brandon Peterson who was a fireman too.

Please take note!We will not have a May speaker, but look forward to our June 18th lecture with Dr. MacDonald.

Big news, Kennedale! We are officially pulling the past out of the archives and putting it right at your fingertips.

Starting next year, the Kennedale Newspapers are heading to the UNT Libraries Portal to Texas History to be digitized! 🚀

🕒 The Deep Dive into the Past
We aren’t just scanning a few pages—we’re bringing decades of stories back to life. To ensure every headline, high school football score, and local hero gets the spotlight they deserve, we’ll be releasing the archives 10 years at a time.

🔓 History, Unlocked (and FREE!)
The best part? It won’t cost you a dime. Whether you’re a family historian, a student, or just someone who loves a good "remember when," you’ll have unrestricted, free access to our city's journey through the twentieth century and beyond.

What to expect:

Searchable Pages: Find names, dates, and events in seconds.

High-Res Quality: See the photos and ads exactly as they appeared decades ago.

Global Access: Share Kennedale’s legacy with friends and family anywhere in the world.

✨ Get Ready to Scroll Through Time!
Dust off those memories and get your clicking finger ready. We start the rollout next year, and we can’t wait to see what treasures you rediscover.

Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to make Kennedale history immortal.

The first four years are already available at the link below:
