Come for the margaritas, stay for the cowboy hats.
or me, Fort Worth was always an afterthought of Dallas Fort Worth Airport, and a part of Texas I never believed I’d never visit. I currently live in Austin, but it’s rare I see a cowboy hat worn unironically, and there are now more Teslas than trucks in this part of the state. It’s Texas-Lite, and Fort Worth, I’d heard, is about as Texas as it gets.
Fort Worth goes by many names and this is the best tribute to how strange and fluid the city is: Panther City, Funky Town, Where the West Begins, to name a few. However, prior to all of these names, it was an essential stop for cowboys driving cattle up north. And prior to that, a fort for homestead protections, developed after Texans reneged on two treaties, one with Mexico and another with Native Americans.
