About Hell’s Half Acre (Historic Fort Worth)
A famed district of the Old West, Hell’s Half Acre was a rowdy, notorious area of Fort Worth in the 1870s. Located between 10th and 15th Streets and bordered by Houston, Main, Rusk, Throckmorton, and Calhoun, it thrived thanks to the Chisholm Trail and the Texas & Pacific Railway.
The district was filled with saloons, brothels, gambling halls, hotels, and boarding houses. It was frequented by legendary figures such as Bat Masterson, Butch Cassidy, Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, Sam Bass, the Sundance Kid, and more.
Attempts to clean up the area persisted for decades, but it wasn’t until World War I—thanks to local officials and leadership from Camp Bowie—that the district was finally shut down in 1919.
Today, the area is home to the Fort Worth Convention Center, City Hall, Omni Fort Worth, the Water Gardens, and the Sheraton Hotel—far removed from its Wild West roots.
