Situated in North Texas, Fort Worth covers nearly 300 sq miles in Tarrant and Denton counties, serving as the county seat for Tarrant County. As of the 2006 U.S. Census estimate, Fort Worth had a populus of 653,320. The city is the second-largest cultural and economic center of the Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington metropolitan area (commonly called the Metroplex), the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the U.S. with a populus of 6 1,000,000 in twelve counties. Fort Worth and the surrounding Metroplex area offer numerous business opportunities and a wide array of attractions.

In 1843, the Republic of Texas commissioners signed a treaty with the Native US tribes dividing the new frontier. Native USs were given the land to the left of an imaginary line, while the settlers were given the land to the East. This imaginary line became known as the place `where the West begins`.

Texas remained an independent Republic for nine years prior to being annexed as the 28th state on December 29, 1845. Less than three months later on March 24, 1846, an US Army commanded by General Zachary Taylor was encamped along the Nern banks of the Rio Grande, directly across the river from Mexican soldiers. Within a month, hostilities commenced and a large body of Mexican cavalrymen attacked a patrol of dragoons (soldiers trained to fight on foot, but who transport themselves on horseback) on April 23, 1846. Declaring, "US blood had been shed on US soil", President Polk addressed Congress, who declared war on Mexico on May 13, 1846.

Under General Taylor, Worth conducted negotiations for Mexico`s surrender of Matamoros and was entrusted with the assault on the Bishop`s Palace in Monterrey, Mexico. The assault on the Bishop`s Palace was a hazardous undertaking. Worth and his soldiers managed to drag their cannon and ammunition over adverse terrain and up sheer cliff faces while under constant heavy enemy fire. Worth passed from post to post during the entire action on horseback escaping personal injury and losing a minimal number of his soldiers.

In January 1849 Worth proposed a line of ten forts to mark the Western Texas frontier from Eagle Pass to the confluence of the West Fork and Clear Fork of the Trinity River. One month later Worth died from cholera. Worth was a well respected and decorated U.S. Army General at the time of his death and a hero of three wars. Fort Worth, Texas; Lake Worth, Florida; and Worth County, Georgia are named in his honor.

In August 1849 Arnold moved the camp to the North-facing bluff which overlooked the mouth of the Clear Fork of the Trinity River. The U.S. War Department officially named the post Fort Worth on Nov 14, 1849.
