Some pretty kewl facts come on guys I know you must know something about the town you live in. Here is a little more about my town Fort Worth Texas.


"Cowtown" Served As Trading Center
Fort Worth's wild and woolly past began in 1849 when Major Ripley Arnold led a small detachment of U.S. Dragoons to the banks of the Trinity River and established an outpost to protect early settlers from Native American attack. The garrison was named for General William Worth, a Mexican War hero. It was more of an encampment than a fort, but after several years the natives ceased their opposition to the settlement. When the soldiers left, the settlers stayed, and in 1860 Fort Worth was chosen to serve as Tarrant County seat.

Its location on the Old Chisholm Trail, the route along which ranchers drove their herds, helped establish Fort Worth as a trading and cattle center and earned it the nickname "Cowtown." Cowboys took full advantage of their last brush with civilization before the long drive north from Fort Worth. They stocked up on provisions from local merchants, visited the town's colorful saloons for a bit of gambling and carousing, then galloped northward with their cattle.


To this day down in the Stockyards (the old part of town) they still have a cattle drive twice a day. There are Cowboys that dress in the style of the old west riding there horses in that area for the tourist and at noon and 4pm they have the cattle drives for the tourist to see.

And of course we have BILLY BOB'S country bar were you can go see a lot of the Country Singers.

L.A. is the home of such things as d-bags, idiots, hollywood wannabees, and blue-haired bleeding-heart liberal hippies trying to relive their hey-days smoking dope on the beaches of malibu and crap.

L.A. sucks. in fact, it sucks so bad that putin and his merry band of russian hardliners should probably pick L.A. as their first target instead of Washington D.C. if and when WWIII starts up.

Nick Lachey (Jessica Simpson's ex) was born in the same hospital as me in my town.




The county has been the site of great labor unrest beginning in the early 20th century, primarily surrounding the coal mining industry. Labor unrest in the 1930s led to the country being referred to as "Bloody Harlan Country" for several years. The county was the subject of the film Harlan County, USA, which documented strikes and organizing during a second major period of labor unrest in the 1970s.


The average household income is only $18,665.

We also hold the Guinness world record for the largest ATV parade.
