Welcome to the Newto News for December of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Fort Worth, Texas has a rich history dating back to the mid-19th century when it was established as an army outpost to protect settlers from Native American attacks. The city quickly grew as a trading post and cattle town, becoming a hub for the booming livestock industry in the late 1800s. In the early 20th century, Fort Worth emerged as a major oil city with the discovery of the nearby Spindletop oil fields. This led to a period of rapid growth and prosperity, attracting businesses and investors from around the country. During World War II, Fort Worth became a center for aircraft production, with companies like Bell Aircraft Corporation and Consolidated Aircraft Corporation operating in the city. After the war, Fort Worth continued to thrive as a center for manufacturing, technology, and finance. Today, Fort Worth is a vibrant city known for its cultural attractions, thriving economy, and strong sense of community.
