Fort Worth(フォートワース) (Tarrant County)


テキサス州北部に位置する町。I-35WとI-20の交差する場所にあります。1849年に付近に住む住人を原住民の襲撃から守る為の砦(Fort)が築かれ、メキシコとの戦いで英雄になった陸軍General William Jenkins Worthから名づけられました。1853年に開拓圏の西への拡大に伴い引き払われた土地は住民が所有し、成長を始めました。危機は1873年に訪れ、延線される予定だった鉄道が経営危機の懸念からDallasでストップ。一時人口200人を下回り、町として機能するのに苦しい状況になりましたが、Fort Worthに住む住人たちは諦めずに自分たちで作業をして敷設26マイルを権利の失効する1876年までに何とか完成させ、鉄道の乗り入れが可能になりました。後日1878年にArizonaのYumaと(Yuma Stage Line)、1876年にはCaliforniaのSan Diegoと(Texas and Pacific鉄道)、1900年にはMKTなどのお陰でCotton Belt(綿産業ベルト)一帯と結ばれるようになりました。1930年代は石油、そしてBraniff Airwaysやアメリカン航空(American Airlines)が運行を開始するようになりました。
