Fort Worth: Where the West Begins
Fort Worth holds about 956,000 residents in Tarrant County and sits roughly 30 miles west of Dallas along the Trinity River. The city was established in 1849 as a U.S. Army outpost guarding the frontier after the Mexican-American War. When the Chisholm Trail drove cattle north from South Texas to railheads in Kansas from 1867 through the 1880s, Fort Worth served as the last major stop before the Red River. The moniker "Cowtown" and the self-description "Where the West Begins" date from this period.
The Stockyards National Historic District preserves the commercial core of the old cattle-trading economy. Twice daily, the Fort Worth Herd drives longhorns down Exchange Avenue in a scheduled procession that began as a municipal program in 1999. Billy Bob's Texas, a 100,000-square-foot honky-tonk opened in 1981, operates within the district. The Amon Carter Museum, the Kimbell Art Museum designed by Louis Kahn, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth cluster in the Cultural District west of downtown.
Texas Christian University enrolls roughly 12,000 students on its campus south of downtown and fields the Horned Frogs in the Big 12 Conference. Dickies Arena, opened in 2019 adjacent to the Will Rogers Memorial Center, hosts the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo each January and February. The Bass family, whose fortune originated with Sid Richardson's oil holdings, has funded much of the downtown revitalization around Sundance Square over the past four decades.
