Dallas was founded in 1841 by John Neely Bryan near a natural ford on the Trinity River. The arrival of railroads in the 1870s, particularly the Houston & Texas Central and Texas & Pacific lines intersecting in Dallas, transformed the small settlement into regional commercial center. Cotton trading, banking, and retail distribution drove late 19th-century growth. Oil discoveries in East Texas (1930) brought petroleum companies establishing offices in Dallas. The 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition showcased the city. Post-WWII growth accelerated through defense contractors, technology companies, and corporate headquarters relocations. The November 22, 1963 assassination of President Kennedy in Dealey Plaza traumatized the city and nation. The 1970s-80s brought skyscraper construction, the popular TV show "Dallas" boosting international visibility, and continued corporate growth. The 1990s-2000s saw Arts District development, sports facility construction, and suburban sprawl across the metroplex. Recent decades brought continued population growth, economic diversification beyond oil, and increasing cultural sophistication making Dallas a major American metropolis.
