Fort Worth is in the Prairies and Lakes region of Texas. It is part of the Dallas/Fort Worth-Arlington metroplex. Sometimes referred to as Cowtown, it is by far closer to its cowboy roots than neighboring Dallas.

Fort Worth grew from a military camp established at the close of the Mexican War by Gen. Winfield Scott, and named for Gen. William Jenkins Worth who fought in the war. Forty-two men of Company F, 2nd Dragoons, established the camp on June 6, 1849. The Fort Worth to Yuma, AZ, stage line was established in 1850. The city became the seat of Tarrant County 1860, and after the Civil War, it became a major shipping and supply depot for cattlemen.

American Airlines and AMR Corporation are headquartered in Fort Worth.

Buses and Train service link many areas of town. Trinity Rail Express has commuter train service between downtown Fort Worth, DFW Airport and downtown Dallas.
