built a single log cabin. He envisioned a commerce center that capitalized on the expanse of land and its river. With the arrival of the railroad in the mid-1870s, Dallas became a thriving business town and market center. An influx of French, German, Swiss and English immigrants—highly skilled and cultured—gave Dallas a cosmopolitan air un- matched on the frontier. Neiman Marcus was founded here, followed by a Federal
Reserve Bank, Southern Methodist University in 1915 and Dallas Love Field Airport. “Dad” Joiner struck oil nearby on the East Texas Oil Field in 1930, and the Texas Centennial Exposition was held here in 1936. With DFW International Airport’s opening in 1973, Bryan’s dream of a major inland port was accomplished. Dallas boasts more shopping centers per capita than
any other U.S. city and is home to America’s oldest shop- ping center, Highland Park Village. Other centers include Galleria Dallas, NorthPark Center, West Village and Mock- ingbird Station.
