Designated as a state archeological landmark in 1987. This plaza honors the meatpacking industry, which helped make Fort Worth the livestock center of the southwest.

In 1901, both meatpackers signed identical contracts with the Fort Worth Stock Yards Company, giving the packers equal capital shares in the livestock company. Together they established the town sites of North Fort Worth (1902-1909) and later Niles City (1911-1923).

This plaza is a tribute to the people. Many of whom emigrated from foreign countries, and worked for the meatpackers. They settled in North Fort Worth communities, providing the foundation of our unique ethnic heritage.
