Welcome to Ft. Worth – “Cow Town”

Population 978,000

Fort Worth is the fifth-largest city in Texas and the 12th largest city in the United States, by population. 

Established in 1849 as an army outpost along the Trinity River, Fort Worth has historically been the center of the Texas Longhorn cattle trade.  

Although considered by some to be a satellite city due to its proximity to Dallas, Fort Worth has become one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. In recent years, particularly in the 21st century, Fort Worth has more than doubled in population in the last 30 years. 

Education

Fort Worth Independent School District is committed to providing the highest quality of education and citizenship while maintaining acceptable student-to-staff ratios and class sizes. For the latest FWISD public school calendar, news and events go directly to Ft. Worth ISD. Ft. Worth is home to several colleges and universities: Texas Christian University, Texas Wesleyan, University of North Texas Health Science Center, and Texas A&M University School of Law.

Employment

Many multinational corporations, including Bell Textron, Lockheed Martin, American Airlines, BNSF Railway, Pier 1 Imports, Chip 1 Exchange, RadioShack are headquartered in Fort Worth. 

Parks and Recreation

Fort Worth has an impressive and vast park and trail system featuring 291 public parks spanning over 12,000 acres within the city.  There are even three different dog parks just waiting for you and your four-legged friends to visit!  The Fort Worth Zoo is the #1 Zoo in the nation. 

The Arts

Fort Worth has outstanding offerings for those interested in the arts. You can explore five museums that are world-famous for their architecture and the quality of the collections in The Fort Worth Cultural District. It is home to five museums in a park-like setting including Kimbell Art Museum, Amon Carter Museum,  Art Museum of Fort Worth, and others.

Colonial National Invitational Golf Tournament

Fort Worth hosts an important professional men’s golf tournament every May at the Colonial Country Club. The Colonial Invitational Golf Tournament, now officially known as the Fort Worth Invitational, is one of the more prestigious and historical events of the tour calendar. The Colonial Country Club was the home course of golfing legend Ben Hogan, who was from Fort Worth.

Motor racingTexas Motor Speedway Nascar auto racing

Fort Worth is home to Texas Motor Speedway, also known as “The Great American Speedway”.

Texas Motor Speedway is a 1.5-mile quad-oval track located in the far northern part of the city in Denton County. The speedway opened in 1997, and currently hosts an IndyCar event and six NASCAR events among three major race weekends a year.

Cowtown Marathon

The annual Cowtown Marathon has been held every last weekend in February since 1978. The two-day activities include two 5Ks, a 10K, a half marathon, a marathon, and an ultra-marathon. With just under 27,000 participants in 2013, the Cowtown is the largest multiple-distance event in Texas.

Fort Worth Stockyards  Fort Worth Stockyards, man on horseback with longhorns

The Fort Worth Stockyards is a must-see for anyone visiting the DFW Metroplex.  Nothing embodies Western heritage better than the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District.

From the original brick walkways to the wooden corrals, every inch of the Stockyards tells the true history of Texas’s famous livestock industry and hosts the world’s only twice-daily cattle drive of the Fort Worth Herd of Texas Longhorns. 

Shopping

Fort Worth is home to an impressive array of high-end fashion boutiques, eclectic shops, outdoor malls, and of course, plenty of places selling all the cowboy gear you could ever need or want.

Whether you’re looking for upscale clothing brands, vintage frocks, and accessories, handmade artisanal goods, or your first great pair of hand-tooled cowboy boots, chances are that you’ll find it in Cowtown.
