A roundup, for tourists’ benefit, of longhorn cattle on Exchange Street in the Stockyards, the historic livestock-market district in Fort Worth.
The 206-acre Union Stockyards opened for business here in 1890. By 1907, the Stockyards sold a million cattle per year, helping to give Fort Worth its “Cowtown” nickname of which it is proud.
