History
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area, commonly referred to as DFW, has a rich and fascinating history dating back thousands of years. Here is a brief overview of the area's history:
Pre-Columbian era:Before European exploration, the Dallas-Fort Worth area was home to various indigenous tribes, including the Wichita, Comanche, and Caddo. These tribes lived off the land and relied heavily on hunting, fishing, and agriculture.
Spanish Colonial era:In the late 1600s, Spanish explorers began exploring the area, including the Rio Grande and Trinity River basins. However, it was not until the early 1800s that Spanish colonization of the area began in earnest.
Mexican era:In 1821, Mexico gained independence from Spain, and the Dallas-Fort Worth area became part of the newly formed country. During this time, the area was sparsely populated and served mainly as a stopover point for traders and travelers.
