Let's Go There Fort Worth Stockyards and the Cattle Drives

The video explores the history of Fort Worth, Texas, from its founding as a military post in 1849 to its development into a major livestock center. After the Civil War, the Texas economy struggled, but the completion of the Kansas and Pacific Railway in 1867 facilitated cattle transportation to northern markets, leading to the creation of the Chisholm Trail. Fort Worth's fortunes changed with the arrival of the Texas and Pacific Railway in 1876, sparking a cattle boom. Today, the Fort Worth Stockyards preserve this legacy, offering attractions like rodeos and the daily cattle drive of the Fort Worth herd.
