Frontier industries, such as cattle ranching, cotton farming, and oil production, significantly contributed to the growth of major Texas cities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by attracting settlers and boosting economic activity. The expansion of railroads facilitated the transportation of goods and people, further enhancing urban development. Cities like San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Houston became vital commercial hubs as they supported these industries, leading to increased population and infrastructure growth. Additionally, the influx of workers and entrepreneurs spurred the establishment of businesses and services, solidifying the cities' economic foundations.
