Top 10 attractions in Tarrant County
Fort Worth Stockyards
In 1876, the arrival of the railroad made Fort Worth an important hub for cattle, sheep and livestock transportation. Until the 1960s, Fort Worth had a significant presence in the livestock industry in the United States. From 1866 to 1890, more than 4 million livestock were transported through Fort Worth, which became known as the "Cowboy Village." In order to truly reproduce the life of a cowboy in the 19th century in the American West to today's people, some volunteers still insist on driving the longhorn cattle through the streets of Stockyard every day.Fort Worth · 4.1 km from downtown

A realt authentic Texan experience. You'll really feel you're in a Wild West movie. It's a real cowboy town and there are even longhorns that parade the streets from time to time. Definitely not to miss.
