History

Fort Worth’s roots began in 1849 when it was established as an army outpost to protect settlers from Native Americans; named after Mexican-American War hero General William Jenkins Worth. Due to its location along the Trinity River and Chisholm Trail, it soon became a popular stop for cattle drives and eventually settlers as well. Because of the continued threat of Native Americans in the area, Fort Worth was relocated further west in 1853. All settlers followed suit, relocating further west and taking ownership of the fort by opening a school and town stores.

During the antebellum period, Fort Worth held many slaves and in 1860 had almost 850 compared to its 5,200 citizens. Most of these citizens voted for secession from the Union and shortly after, the effects of the Civil War almost destroyed Fort Worth. The population dipped down to 175 people and there were shortages of all necessities. Fort Worth slowly grew from this point and in the early 1870s was recharged by the establishment of a couple of general stores.

The Texas and Pacific Railway made a huge impact on Fort Worth’s economy at the time as it made the town a terminus for freight coming from Yuma and San Diego. In 1876, the railroads would also contribute to the Fort Worth Stockyards becoming the most popular livestock center of the time. With cattle drives came wild settlers looking to gamble and drink during their downtime on the trail. Saloons, gambling parlors, and bakeries dotted the town soon after, capitalizing on the opportunity.

During World War I, Camp Bowie was established by the U.S. Army and was used to train over 100,000 men in Fort Worth. Oil was discovered shortly after and the emergence of refinery and pipeline companies including Sinclair Refining Company, Texaco, and Exxon Company, among others, were rampant.

Fort Worth’s higher education and cultural life took off in the next several decades with the establishment of numerous universities and community colleges as well as museums and cultural and historic centers including the Fort Worth Museum of Science, which is one of the largest science and history museums in the Southwest.

Education

The Fort Worth-Dallas metroplex is home to more than 72 colleges, universities, and higher education institutions. The most prominent in Fort Worth include Baylor College of Dentistry, Tarleton State University – Fort Worth, Tarrant County College, and the University of Texas at Arlington.
