Origins
Founded in 1841 as a trading post on the Trinity River, Dallas grew rapidly thanks to its strategic location for railroad routes, becoming a key center for cotton and, later, oil.
Development
In the 20th century, the city established itself as a financial and technological center. However, it was forever marked in world history by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 in Dealey Plaza.
Modern era
Today, Dallas is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth 'Metroplex', one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the US, excelling in telecommunications, technology and an arts scene that is one of the largest in the country.
