Certainly worth checking out.

Fort Worth began as a tiny outpost on a lonely frontier in 1840. Built on a heritage of the cattle and oil industries, people rode on horseback and wagons around town in the early days. The city took on the slogan, "Where The West Begins." By the turn of the century, it was time for the North Texas city to expand into packing houses, as it had long been a livestock shipping center. Fort Worth became the southwest packing house center. The result was economic prosperity and progress.

A mixture of Western heritage and down home Texas culture, Fort Worth has always stayed true to its roots. It is known these days as Cowtown. Over 150 years of history have shaped Cowtown - and will continue to define its future.

Today Fort Worth is a vital part of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. With a population of 686,850 that is equally divided between men and women, Fort Worth is a progressive, growing city - the country's 18th largest. The median age is 30 years old - which is not surprising since it attracts young people looking for a less hectic, more laidback lifestyle. Homes and real estate are affordable and some of the best in the country, starting in the 100s. More and more businesses are moving here every year. Here the future is wide open. Right now. Discover Fort Worth and all it has to offer.

The Stockyards in your front yard.
Dallas in your back yard.

Fort Worth offers its residents the best of both worlds. You are only a half hour from The Big D and its surrounding neighborhoods. You are only 15 minutes away from the soon to be completed Cowboys Stadium and the Rangers' Ameriquest Field if you're a sports fan. At the same time, you are right on top of a more intimate art and social scene now flourishing with downtown's Bass Performance Hall, the Kimball and Modern Museums, dining, entertainment and shopping in Sundance Square and the old West feel of the Stockyards.
