Downtown Fort Worth Live Cam

Downtown Fort Worth has a rich and colorful history that spans more than 150 years. The area was originally settled in the mid-1800s by pioneers who were drawn to the natural resources and fertile land of the Trinity River Valley. Fort Worth was established as a military outpost in 1849 to protect settlers from Indian attacks.

As the city grew, the downtown area became the hub of commerce and culture in Fort Worth. In the late 1800s, the city's economy was driven by the cattle industry, and the famous Fort Worth Stockyards were just a few miles to the north. The downtown area was home to numerous saloons, hotels, and businesses that catered to the cowboys and ranchers who came to town to buy and sell livestock.
