Dallas is not located in the U.S. state of Maine, but is a major city in the U.S. state of Texas. This common misconception may stem from place name confusion. Dallas is the third largest city in Texas and is known for its thriving economy, cultural attractions, and transportation hub status.
Located in northern Texas, Dallas has a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. The city is expansive and is a central part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, connecting to several highways and the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
Dallas has a diversified economy, led by the energy, financial, technology and healthcare industries. Culturally, the city boasts attractions such as the President John F. Kennedy Memorial Site and the Dallas Museum of Art, and is known for its professional sports teams and Southern cuisine.
Founded in 1841, Dallas grew rapidly due to the oil industry and trade. Visitors can explore its historic districts, shopping centers, and annual events such as the Texas State Fair for a uniquely Southern American experience.
