The story of Dallas–Fort Worth begins long before modern skylines rose above the prairies. Early settlers were drawn to this region for its fertile land, river access, and trade routes. As the nineteenth century progressed, both Dallas and Fort Worth emerged as pivotal centers of commerce, cattle trading, and transportation, setting the foundation for a metro area defined by progress and possibility.
In Dallas, early growth was fueled by banking, cotton, and rail lines, transforming the city into a central hub of the American Southwest. The arrival of the Texas and Pacific Railway solidified its position, while the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition showcased Dallas as a city of ambition and culture. Fort Worth developed in parallel, originally serving as a military outpost before evolving into a vital cattle shipping point. Its Stockyards became one of the most famous livestock centers in the world, a historic legacy still celebrated today.
As aviation advanced, the region’s identity deepened with the creation of DFW International Airport, one of the largest and busiest airports in the world. The late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries brought major expansions in technology, healthcare, finance, logistics, and education, drawing new residents, global companies, and cultural institutions to the Metroplex. Today, the area stands as a symbol of modern Texas: diverse, forward-looking, and grounded in a tradition of resilience.
