The city of Fort Worth was established in 1849 as an army
outpost on a bluff overlooking the Trinity River. Fort Worth
has historically been a center of the Texas Longhorn cattle
trade. It still embraces its Western heritage and
traditional architecture and design. USS Fort Worth (LCS-3)
is the first ship of the United States Navy named after the
city. Nearby Dallas has held a population majority as long
as records have been kept, yet Fort Worth has become one of
the fastest-growing cities in the United States in recent
years, particularly in the 21st century, nearly doubling its
population since 2000. |
