Fort Worth Stockyards
Fort Worth Stockyards are a historic cattle market and cattle farm north of Fort Worth city center in the state of Texas in the United States. In English, an stockyard is a space to temporarily housing livestock.
The Fort Worth Stockyards were opened in 1866, and played an important role in the removal of cattle to the markets on the east coast of the USA, especially after the opening of the railway in 1876.
In 1976 the Stockyards were declared a protected cityscape. It has become one of Fort Worth's major tourist attractions. The grounds have the look and feel of the Wild West, with many bars and steak restaurants. A rodeo is held weekly. Externe link 32 ° 47 '20 "NB, 97 ° 20' 48" WL
