Barbed wire was introduced in Texas by Joseph Glidden in 1874. His design, which featured sharp barbs that effectively kept livestock contained, revolutionized Fencing and ranching practices in the state. Glidden's invention helped to define property boundaries and transformed the open range into more manageable farmland and ranchland. The widespread adoption of barbed wire played a significant role in the development of the cattle industry in Texas.
