About Dallas

Dallas sits on the North Texas prairie with no natural waterway or resource that explains its growth — it became a banking, insurance, and telecom hub (Texas Instruments among others, in what got called the "Silicon Prairie") by choice and infrastructure rather than geography. UT Dallas and SMU anchor the research side of an otherwise corporate, headquarters-heavy economy.
