HISTORY ON THE BRICKS, FORT WORTH STOCKYARDS
|
|
|
Courtesy of The North Fort Worth Historical Society
|
A lucky fluke won the Stockyards an investor.
Simpson arrived and found the pens full of cattle; he decided Fort Worth represented a good market, and made plans to invest. Little did he know, the pens didn't normally hold that much cattle; he'd simply arrived on the heels of heavy rains and a railroad strike.
On April 27, 1893, Simpson bought the Union Stockyards for $133,333.33 and changed the name to the Fort Worth Stockyards Company.
Simpson invited other investors to join him, including his Boston neighbor, Louville V. Niles, whose primary business was meatpacking. They soon realized that instead of shipping the cattle off to other markets to be processed, they'd be much better off building meat packing plants nearby so they could keep the business in the city. The investors began working to attract major packers to Fort Worth, and by about 1900, they had persuaded both Armour & Co. and Swift & Co. to build plants near the Stockyards.

The Stockyards are a wonderful recognition of Cattlemen and Cowboys steeped in the tradition
of the American West; a place today doing primarily the same thing we were doing over 100 years ago.
Cattle drives, rodeo, steam train, honky tonks, great places to shop and eat and more.
Thank you for taking the time to support our history and culture.
Sincerely,
Fort Worth Stockyards
National Historic District
