Fort Worth, "Where the West Begins," offers residents an engaging blend of cowboys and culture. Evidence of Cowtown's heritage abounds. On the city's north side, for example, the historic Stockyards District reflects its past as a major commerce center once teeming with cattle bound for Kansas packing houses and railyards.
Downtown, the restaurants, shops, and galleries of Sundance Square lend picturesque charm to the modern cityscape.
Near downtown is the nation's third-largest cultural district, encompassing the Kimbell Art Museum, acclaimed worldwide for its art
and architecture; the Amon Carter Museum, famous for Western art; the Modern Art Museum, celebrated for works by Picasso, Hockney, and Pollock; and the
Museum of Science and History, which welcomes over a million visitors a year.
Nearby are the
Casa Mañana musical theater
Botanic and Japanese Gardens
and the world-renowned Fort Worth Zoo
Fort Worth boasts a professional symphony, opera, and ballet, and hosts the quadrennial Van Cliburn Piano
competition.
Home to half a million people and several major corporations, Fort Worth has been designated a "top city for business" by Fortune magazine. Entrepreneur magazine named it the "best southern city in which to start a business". The National Civic League awarded Fort Worth the All-America City honor.
