Fort Worth is the fifth-largest city in the state of Texas and the 19th-largest in the United States. Located in the south of the country, the city covers almost 300 square miles and is the county seat of Tarrant County. As of the 2005 U.S. Census estimate, Fort Worth had a population of 624,067. The city is the second-largest cultural and economic center of the Dallas “Fort Worth “Arlington metropolitan area, the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the U.S. with a population of 5.8 million in 12 counties. Fort Worth was founded as a military camp in 1849, named after General William Jenkins Worth. Today, the city is portrayed as more old-fashioned and laid-back than its neighbor, Dallas. Known as "Cowtown" for its roots as a cattle drive terminus, Fort Worth bills itself as "Where the West begins" and still celebrates its colorful Western and Southern heritage. In 1849, during the closure of the Mexican-American War, Major Ripley Arnold established a fort, named in honor of General William Jenkins Worth near a high bluff where the West Fork and Clear Fork of the Trinity River merge together. The fort was flooded the first year and was moved to the top of the bluff where the courthouse sits now. The fort was established to protect 19th century settlers from Indian attacks. It grew into a bustling town when it became a stop along the legendary Chisholm Trail, the dusty path where millions of cattle were driven North to market. Fort Worth became the center of the cattle drives, and later, the ranching industry. The heyday of the cattle drives was the wild era of " Hell's Half Acre," [2] an area of town filled with gambling parlors, saloons and dance halls. During the Civil War, the town suffered and the population dwindled. However, Fort Worth recovered quickly during Reconstruction and once again was a bustling population center. In 1876, the Texas & Pacific Railway connected to Fort Worth and transformed the Fort Worth Stockyards into a premier livestock center. [3] When oil began to gush in West Texas, Fort Worth was at the center of the wheeling and dealing. Featured Homes in Fort Worth, TX
