T he word “rodeo” comes from the Spanish word rodear,工学硕士
meaning “surround,” for a place where cowboys sold cows.
In the 1800s, cowboys from the southwestern United States
came together a few times each year in order to ll their cows.
After lling the cows, the cowboys often took part in
competitions where they showed off the skills they had learned
over the past year. In 1888, the people of Prescott, Arizona, began to ll tickets to the cowboy shows and prizes were given to the best cowboy acts.
