Description
Fort Worth was the last major stop for rest and supplies for the drovers heading cattle up the Chisolm Trail. Beyond Fort Worth they would have to deal with crossing the Red River into Indian Territory. Between 1866 and 1890 more than four million head of cattle were trailed through Fort Worth, which was soon known as "Cowtown". Fort Worth is now the 17th-largest city in the United States of America and the fifth-largest city in the state of Texas.
