HISTORY ON THE BRICKS, FORT WORTH STOCKYARDS
|
|
|
Courtesy of The North Fort Worth Historical Society(Feeders and Breeders Show (Stock Show) 1910.) |
The Fort Worth Stock Yard Company's wooden horse and mule barns on this site were destroyed by fire on March 14, 1911, opening day of the Feeders and Breeders show (later Southwestern Exposition & Stock Show). The show opened as planned, with former President Theodore Roosevelt giving the opening address. The company announced plans to replace the destroyed barns immediately with new concrete and steel fireproof buildings.
Construction was completed in March 1912, and the new barns had a capacity for 3000 animals. The buildings were described as among the finest stables in the world. Activity increased considerably in 1914, at the outbreak of World War I. Horses and mules were needed in great supply by European armies, and agents were sent in droves to Fort Worth to buy stock, spending an estimated $11 million. During that time, Fort Worth was designated the largest horse and mule market in the world.

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
