Which states are cowtowns?
With the possible exception of Wyoming, no US State could be considered a Cowtown. Wyoming is blessed by low human habitation and a very large bovine population. Numerous Kansas cities were railheads to the eastern meat markets and were certainly cowtowns. Omaha and more importantly Chicago became Cowtowns as Stockyards and slaughterhouses and the world market was opened to American agriculture.
Where were cowtowns located in the US and why did the towns get this name?
During 1866 to 1885, Texas had five million head of cattle and no railroads to ship them. Northeast US had a beef shortage, but plenty of intersecting railroads crossing through to midwest USA (to points East and West). Kansas was / is a perfect mid-point for travel both east and west by rail. So Texans drove "hundreds of thousands" (meaning over 100,000+ in small groups, many, many times) of cattle from Texas for shipping by railroad in Kansas. Cities like Abilene, Ellsworth, Wichita, Dodge City, and Caldwell held the biggest portions of these cows as they waited their turns to get put into railroad cars. Baxter Springs, Newton, Hunnewell, Great Bend, Hays, and Junction City were also points for cowtowns to develop at times. Dodge City emerged as the "Queen of the Cowtowns" after quarantines were imposed on Wichita. Imagine this... a town overrun with 75,000 or more heads of cattle held in pens... with mooing, need to feed, water, and to milk, the stench of their excrement, etc., and even cattlemen willing to steal cattle in the middle of the night. Many of these small towns had small human populations, but suddenly needed "cow police" as well as policing of the humans. Trains coming through needed loaded with cattle, to make their way to auction and slaughter.
