The Old Red Courthouse. The Plaza of the Americas. The Reunion Tower. And the Mavericks. When you hear the mention of these names, you only think about one city—Dallas, Texas. Situated near the Trinity River and Grand Prairie, Dallas is the third largest city in the United States with a land area of 385 sq. mi. It is also the 9th most populous city in the country as around 1.2 million people inhabit the place. Its current mayor is Tom Leppert.

Dallas, Texas heavily relies on banking, manufacturing of cotton, farming, and telecommunications to boost up its economy. In the 20th century, Dallas was considered as one of the biggest distributors of cotton in the world. With the advancement of technology, however, Dallas has moved on from producing cottons to housing telecommunication headquarters in the city. It is also home to a number of shopping malls. In fact, no other city in America comes close to the number of shopping malls in Dallas.

Just like another Texan city, Houston, Dallas is known as a great upholder of the arts. You can see the city’s culture by looking at the Victorian-inspired and modern structures in the Big D. Downtown Dallas houses the Art District, with the Dallas Museum of Art as one of the most prominent and important buildings in that place. This museum, which was founded in 1903, has a great collection of Egyptian and Nubian art pieces.

When it comes to sports, apart from being the base of the perennial NBA West championship contenders, the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas, Texas, is also home to the Texas Rangers, the Dallas Cowboys, the Dallas Stars, Dallas Desperados and FC Dallas.
