Texas history and American history go hand in hand, and Dallas is home to many museums and organizations that take great pride in preserving this history. The Dallas Public Library is one of the few locations where visitors can see an original copy of the Declaration of Independence that was printed on July 4, 1776.
Dallas’ early economic history revolved around agriculture, Native American trade, and the stockyards of Fort Worth. A key element to the city’s growth accorded around 1873 with the development of multiple railroad lines that turned the city into the focal point of western commerce. The Dallas area became the economic hub for the southern United States and became a major player in Texas cotton production, and eventually oil in the 1930s.
After World War II, the city became the focal point of the telecommunications revolution that led to the development of the first microchip. This breakthrough in technology allowed Dallas to create a Telecom Corridor that is still home to thousands of technology companies that benefited from the development of microchips.
The city has a long and important history, but its most well-known historical event was the tragedy that occurred on Nov. 22, 1963. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy shocked the nation, and residents and visitors of Dallas can learn about the history of the JFK assassination in the Sixth Floor Museum.
