Stockyards Historical Facts
|
|
|
|
|
Courtesy of North Fort Worth Historical Society
|
An agreement Simpson and Niles made in 1902 with Armour and Swift brought in two of the nation's largest meatpackers, which constructed modern plants adjacent to the stockyards. In a stock reorganization, each packer received a third interest in the stockyards company, and Simpson, Niles, and smaller investors retained a third. In exchange for stock and land on which to build their plants, the packers agreed that each animal they slaughtered would pass through the stockyards at a standard fee. Boom years followed for the Fort Worth Stock Yards Company after the arrival of Armour and Swift. Immigrants came from Central Europe to work in the plants and settled in a community that stockyard officials incorporated in 1902 under the name North Fort Worth.

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.
Sincerely,
Fort Worth Stockyards
