HISTORY OF FORT WORTH PANTHER:
During Post-Civil War reconstruction era, a rumor was started about a panther that stalked and slept on the
Fort Worth city streets at night. A Dallas newspaper ran a story claiming that Fort Worth was so drowsy, a panther was
found sleeping on Main Street. Fort Worth citizens good-naturedly dubbed their hometown "Panther City," and
many local merchants and sports teams adopted the animal in their logos. (Source:City-Data.com)
