Let’s take a few minutes to look back to the beginning of Cowtown and how a little fort became the city we know today. Here’s our five-minute history of Fort Worth.
1840s-1850s: The founding of Fort Worth
Way back when
The fertile area around the Trinity River had long been a hunting ground for Tawakoni, Wichita, Kickapoo, and Comanche nations when Jonathon Bird established a settlement in 1840.
In 1843, Gen. Edward H. Tarrant and George W. Terrell met with chiefs from nine differing tribes to parley a peace agreement after the Comanche Wars lead by Republic of Texas president Mirabeau Lamar. The Bird’s Fort Treaty created a line through the future site of Fort Worth — Native American peoples on the west and settlers on the east, giving the town its famous slogan “Where the West Begins.”
1860s-1870s: Cattle drives and cowboy confrontations
Hitch up for the Chisholm Trail
From 1867 to 1884, cowboys drove longhorn cattle up from the Rio Grande Valley through Fort Worth to Kansas on a route known as the Chisholm Trail.
