A major inland American city, Dallas is, by far, the largest city in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex - a multi-polar regional metropolis. The city and metropolitan area lies amidst vast, high, and varying rolling prairies - with hundreds of large & small lakes, rivers, creeks, waterways and meanders.

Dallas, called "Big D", is often a reference to where 'America's East really ends,' and Fort Worth is where 'America's West really begins.'
