Notes:
Fort Worth was established as a cattle town, where its trade flourished, making it one of the largest cities in Texas
Following Fort Worth's prosperity, an unofficial red light district locally known as Hell's Half-Acre was founded
The half-acre's reputation largely mythology and folklore, but what is known is that it had a primarily black population and the leading cause of death was suicide, not murder
