Fort Worth is the fifth largest city in Texas, and the second largest economic center in the Dallas-Fort Worth- Arlington metropolitan area, the largest in the state. Located in North Texas, serving as the cultural gateway into the American West, the city is also referred to as Cowtown because of the rich cowboy heritage, and the Old West architecture and style that is still evident today. Originally established in 1849 as an Army outpost on a bluff overlooking the Trinity River, today the city has prospered with natural gas and oil and was voted one of "America's Most Livable Communities". As one of the fastest growing large cities in the US, A Dallas/Fort Worth rent a car is a great way to get around the expansive metro region.
