Fort Worth
 Sundance Square in downtown Fort Worth |
Fort Worth, one of 10 army forts along the western Texas frontier and a stop along the Butterfield Stage Line, grew up because of the cattle industry. Rail lines were built to ship meat from packing houses in Fort Worth back east. The old Fort Worth Stockyards area has been preserved and is a favorite tourist destination. The wooden sidewalks are a sharp contrast to the more modern, vital downtown. Civic amenities include a zoo, botanical gardens, music hall, and three art museums, one of which, the Kimball, is considered among the finest small museums in the world.
