Description

Built in 1887, the Fort Worth Stockyards became a booming Livestock exchange due to the railroad intersecting the Chisholm Trail. At one time, Fort Worth was just a resupply supply point along the Chisholm Trail. The sounds of boots and spurs walking down the streets hasn't faded in over 150 years. But when the railroad extended to Fort Worth, it became known as "The Wall Street of the West." This booming cowtown brought an enormous economic boom to Texas and secured Fort Worth's name on the map.
