Community Snapshot -- Dallas

Today, Dallas resides as the third largest city in Texas and the eighth largest city in the United States with a population of over 1.2 million people. The present statistics are leaps and bounds away from Dallas's beginnings. In 1841, John Neely Bryan migrated to the three forks area of the Trinity River with the intentions of creating a permanent community called Dallas. Soon following in 1845, the city of Dallas was annexed as a part of the state of Texas and had a population of 430 in the early 1850's. Dallas continued to grow steadily over the next twenty three years as the Houston & Texas Central and Texas & Pacific railroad started passing through the city and grain, cotton and the buffalo market found its center in Dallas. In 1872, the population of Dallas had grown to over 7000. Over the next 50 years from the early 1880's until the early 1930's, Dallas endured struggling periods of time due to intense growth, the Trinity River floods and the Great Depression, however Dallas always found itself back on top, growing in population, wealth and size in the face of adversity.

In the early 1900's, Dallas seemed to have everything in place to sustain as a major American city, however the city lacked a major university. After a failed attempt at moving Southwestern University in Georgetown to Dallas, the Methodists took interest in the endeavor and Southern Methodist University opened in 1915. Today SMU is home to 11,000 students seeking advancement in undergraduate, graduate and professional programs in fields such as humanities and science, business, engineering, law and theology.

Also on the list of achievements in Dallas' intent to stay one of the top cities in the United States, has been the creation of the magnificent Dallas Arts District. Starting with a vision in the early 1970's, voters approved an official arts district in 1979 and in 2009 the 30 year vision saw completion. The Dallas Arts District is the city's leading visual and performing arts center including the Dallas Museum of Art, the Nasher Sculpture, the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and the AT&T Performing Arts Center including the Dee & Charles Wyly Theatre and the Margot & Bill Winspear Opera House. The area has established Dallas as the only city in the world to feature buildings by designed by four Pritzker Prize winning architects in one contiguous block.
