Fort Price has been called THE TOWN Where the West Starts, Cowtown, and the silent partner in the Dallas/Fort Price Metroplex. None of these descriptions quite tells the story of this city and its own people. Since its founding in the mid nineteenth-century as a military outpost, Fort Price has truly gone through many stages - cattle, essential oil, aviation, and tourist. The little village on the Trinity has grown up to become global city that is clearly a melting container of economic causes and diverse cultures. At its most basic, Fort Worth's background is the story of authority, of how men and women of eye-sight built a flourishing community at a river crossing on the north Texas plains. Through troubled times - the 1850s, the Civil Battle, the 1930s, the 1970s - the authority kept its attention on the future. The city pulled itself through the down times - and put itself on the map - by visionary projects like the railroad, the Spring Palace, the Stockyards, Camp Bowie, the Bomber Place, and Sundance Square. This booklet really helps to put today's face on Fort Price, move it out of the shadow of Dallas, and stick it strongly in the twenty-first century.
