How did Fort Worth gain its reputation as a cow town over the years?

explanation below

Explanation:

Fort Worth is a city in North Central Texas and it is the 13th-largest city in the United States. When the civil war ended, the country was in ruins and herds of castles grazed Texas plains and the cowboys in the area was known to have earned $1-3 per head and the same cow could go for $40 a head in some places.  

History has it that close to 6m cattle were led up north which help to revive the economy of Texas. Drovers going to Kansas usually stop at Fort Worth to purchase supplies. When they are done with the delivery, Fort Worth welcomed them to remain in the area, get some rest and spend part of their earnings.  

When railroads came up, that made Fort Worth to be one of the top cattle markets in the nation. Several millions of cattle were sold and processed in the area.

[SAMPLE ANSWER] Fort Worth emerged as a central location along one of the most used cattle drive trails that went into Kansas to meet the railroad. Fort Worth grew to support the large herds passing through by building stockyards and facilities for the cowhands and trail bosses who led the drives. Fort Worth naturally evolved into a cattle market. Later when the railroad was built through town and refrigerated cars were introduced, Fort Worth became a major hub and replaced Kansas as the destination for cattle transportation in Texas.
