A cattle town is a town that developed around the cattle trade, especially the frontier settlements in the American West where cattle drives ended and livestock were shipped by rail.
Dodge City and Abilene were famous cattle towns.
The term evokes images of dusty streets, saloons, and cowboys: The old cattle town had become a tourist attraction.
