History

Fort Worth was founded in 1849 as an Army outpost along the Trinity River, originally established to protect settlers on the Texas frontier. Named after General William J. Worth, it soon became a bustling cattle town, earning its "Cowtown" nickname as millions of cattle passed through on the Chisholm Trail. The Stockyards, built in 1887, became one of the largest livestock markets in the nation and are still a historic landmark. Fort Worth later flourished with the oil boom and the rise of the aviation industry, driving growth that continues today. Known for blending Western heritage with urban progress, Fort Worth offers homebuyers a unique mix of historic charm and modern living options.
