Fort Worth is the fifth-largest city in the state of Texas and the 17th-largest in the United States. Located in the south of the country, the city covers almost 300 square miles and is the county seat of Tarrant County.
As of the latest U.S. Census estimate, Fort Worth had a population of approximately 702,000. The city is the second-largest cultural and economic center of the Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington metropolitan area, the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the U.S. with a population of 5.8 million in 12 counties.
Fort Worth was founded as a military camp in 1849, named after General William Jenkins Worth. Today, the city is portrayed as more old-fashioned and laid-back than its neighbor, Dallas. Known as "Cowtown" for its roots as a cattle drive terminus, Fort Worth bills itself as "Where the West begins" and still celebrates its colorful Western, Southern, and conservative heritage.
