Dallas

A few years before the Republic of Texas was officially annexed by the United States in 1845, John Neely Bryan already established a permanent settlement in what was then called Dallas and was probably named after U.S. Vice President George Mifflin Dallas who was serving then under James Knox Polk. The area was formally incorporated as a city in 1856 to become the third largest city in the state of Texas, and later to become the ninth largest city in the whole of the United States.

Dallas is a major economic hub in Texas and is home to several Fortune 500 companies engaged in banking, commerce, computer technology, energy, telecommunications, and transportation. The city is subdivided into various sections including urban centers characterized by shopping centers, large and small business centers, restaurants and nightlife. Other sections feature high-rise home and residential apartments and commercial centers.

Water is pulled from several area reservoirs and is maintained by Dallas Water Utilities, which also operates the city’s waste water treatment plants. A good number of companies own and operate the telephone networks, cable television, and broadband internet systems. The city’s electricity is serviced and maintained by several Dallas electric companies operating under an energy deregulated market.
