Fort Worth Homes for Sale

Originally established in 1849 as a military outpost, Fort Worth, Texas, is the 16th largest city in the state, with a population of around 854,000 people. Throughout the mid-1800s, Fort Worth was a part of the U.S. War Department's ten forts charged with protecting the American Frontier, thus Fort Worth has always been referred to as "where the West begins." It would be the famous Chisholm Trail that stimulated Fort Worth to grow into a bustling town in the mid-1800s. Through the Chisholm Trail, millions of cattle were driven to markets located further up north, which made the town a center for cattle drives, cattle ranching, and cowboys, thus earning the nickname "Cowtown." The Civil War would cause the population of Fort Worth to drop significantly as the town suffered from shortages of food and other supplies. Nevertheless, the Reconstruction Era of the mid- to late-1800s saw that the small town regained its vitality once more with the opening of a few noteworthy trading posts and the establishment of Tidball, Van Zandt, and Company, which is now present-day Fort Worth National Bank.
