Dallas is the ninth most-populous city in the U.S. and the largest metropolitan area in the Southern United States. Dallas and nearby Fort Worth initially developed due to the construction of major railroad lines through the area allowing access to cotton, cattle, and later oil in North and East Texas. Dallas then developed as a strong industrial and financial center and a major inland port, due to the convergence of major railroad lines, interstate highways, and the construction of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, one of the largest and busiest airports in the world. Dallas wheelchair access allows visitors to fully enjoy the charms of this modern forward thinking city.
