The National Western Stock Show, held in Colorado, has a rich historical background dating back to the late 19th century. The first National Western Stock Show was held in 1906 at the Denver Union Stockyards. Since then, it has been an annual event, with the exception of 1915 when it was canceled due to an outbreak of hoof and mouth disease. The early years of the stock show, from the 1870s to the 1930s, saw several attempts to hold stock shows in Denver before the establishment of the National Western Stock Show in 1906. The stock show has been an important event for Denver, drawing visitors and revenue to the city. The show has continued to evolve and grow, becoming one of the city's biggest tourism draws.
