The city covers an area of approximately 350 square miles and is home to a diverse population of over 900,000 people.

Established in 1849 as an army outpost, Fort Worth quickly grew into a thriving cattle trading center due to its strategic location along the Chisholm Trail. This led to its nickname, "Cowtown."
