Dallas (pronounced /ˈdæləs/), with a population of 1,279,910,[4] is the third-largest city in Texas and the 8th-largest in the United States. The city is the main economic center of the 12-county Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex that according to the March 2009 U.S. Census Bureau release, had a population of 6,300,006 as of July 2008.[5] The Dallas/Ft. Worth area is the fourth largest and number one fastest-growing (by population) metropolitan area in the United States.[6]

Dallas is rated as a beta world city by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group & Network.[7]

Founded in 1841 and formally incorporated as a city in February, 1856, the city's economy is primarily based on banking, commerce, telecommunications, computer technology, energy, and transportation; only New York City and Houston are home to more Fortune 500 headquarters in the city limits.[8] Located in North Texas and a major city in the American South/Southwest, Dallas is the core of the largest inland metropolitan area in the United States that lacks any navigable link to the sea.[9] The city's prominence despite this comes from its historical importance as a center for the oil and cotton industries, its position along numerous railroad lines, a strong industrial and financial sector, and its status as a major inland port (due largely to the presence of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, one of the largest and busiest in the world).[10]
