Stockyards

The Stockyards are a meat production facility.

History
Known as "Packing Town" located in a large stretch of land on the South side, the Stockyards were founded in 1863 and grew to 130 miles of track producing 80% of the meat consumed in the U.S. by 1923.

In 1919, when workers went on strike for better pay, a race riot broke out. Police killed 4 while attempting to get the crowd under control.
