What most people get wrong about the Metroplex | Dallas vs. Fort Worth

What exactly is the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and why is it called the Metroplex? Dallas and Fort Worth are often lumped together as one massive North Texas city, but the reality is much more complicated. In this episode of “What most people get wrong about…”, we take a closer look at the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the meaning behind the term “Metroplex,” and the distinct identities of Dallas, Fort Worth and the many communities that surround them. We explore how DFW grew into the sprawling region it is today and why understanding the Metroplex means looking beyond Dallas alone.
