Hold Your Horses! We're Fixin' to Tell You...
Now, some folks might tell you history is a dusty old book, but not this time, partner. Buckle up for a whirlwind ride to 1849, the year Fort Worth officially moseyed onto the scene. Yep, you read that right, eighteen hundred and forty-nine – way back when folks were still wranglin' cattle and wearin' ten-gallon hats (or at least something mighty close).
Who Put the "Fort" in Fort Worth?
Well, that there would be Major Ripley Allen Arnold, a fellow who wasn't too keen on Comanche raids. So, he set up a military outpost to keep those varmints at bay. They named it after a real war hero, Major General William Jenkins Worth. See, even back then, Fort Worth had a thing for big names.

But here's the kicker: the army moved on after a few years, leavin' the fort behind. But don't you fret, those tenacious settlers weren't about to let a perfectly good fort go to waste. They moved right in, and the legend of Fort Worth, the Wild West city, was born!
So There You Have It, Partner!
Fort Worth's been around since 1849, a testament to its enduring spirit and love for a good ol' Western tale.
