Dallas

Dallas straddles the Trinity River in north Texas, and that prairie-river setting helped turn a nineteenth-century trading settlement into a major metropolitan center. The downtown core includes Dealey Plaza, where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963; the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza examines that event and its legacy. East of downtown, Fair Park preserves a notable ensemble of Art Deco buildings created for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition and hosts the annual State Fair of Texas. Dallas anchors a broad urban region whose neighborhoods, rail lines and highways extend far beyond the central business district.
