About Dallas

The city of Dallas started small, but with the discovery of the East Texas Oil Field in 1930, the city started its meteoric rise to the cosmopolitan metro area it is today. First, Dallas took on the role of the drilling industry’s base of operations in Texas. Second, in 1965, Dallas and Fort Worth built the DFW International Airport. When that facility opened in 1973, Dallas became an easily accessible destination. Finally, an effort was undertaken to rejuvenate downtown Dallas as a center for business, culture and entertainment.

One of the ten largest cities in the United States, Dallas is host to the largest wholesale merchandise mart in the world and is a major financial center. Additionally, Dallas has six professional sports teams, wealth and cultural attractions and excellent shopping.

Many corporations are headquartered here due to the city’s central location for traveling from DFW airport, and the cost of housing and living which Dallas area employers can offer employees. Today, Dallas is a melting pot of different cultures and lifestyles. Its vibrant downtown area is a draw for visitors and residents alike. The DFW metropolitan area is experiencing steady growth, with a population of 7,233,323.

The Dallas area enjoys a moderate climate. There are approximately 234 sunny days per year, the average July high is 98 degrees, and the average January low is 35 degrees.

The city’s cultural opportunities include the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science, the Dallas Arboretum, Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas Opera, and the Meyerson Symphony Center to name a few.
