Forth Worth is far from being the best known city in Texas. Yet, with its 793,000 inhabitants ranking it in the 16 th largest metropolises in the United States, it will soon be unavoidable. And this renewed attention, for many years now, owes FW to its tradition of cowboys. This is where the longhorns, typical Texas cows, walk their long horns every day on the main street of the city. They fight the pavement daily in the stores of the National Historic District where hundreds of farmers have been buying and selling their beasts for decades. A whole parallel economy has been formed, very closely linked to the cowboy universe: Hats and boots shops, specialized bars, honky tonk, country music boxes… Fort Worth has many nicknames, the most famous of which is "cowtown", the city of cows. The Big Rodeo and the Late January-Early February Cattle Fair move the crowds. A million visitors come to the temple of the cowboy culture.But if the cowboy folklore has made Fort Worth's tourist success, it's mostly his Cultural District that seems to us to be absolutely unavoidable. You will find some of the largest museums in the United States with private collections just incredible for a city that has made its reputation on vending culture. Also, its historic downtown is a small jewel of architecture while remaining at human size. Walking around, he gave Fort Worth his reputation as a pleasant city to live in.
