Earlier, the list of major cities included just the several municipalities of the Metroplex. By their nature, suburbs are not "major cities". -Acjelen 03:11, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject Fort Worth
I have proposed a WikiProject for Fort Worth. Please show your support by going here and adding your name to the list of interested Wikipedians. To improve the quality of Fort Worth-related articles, I believe it necessary now for this project to exist. The Dallas, Texas article, although not yet a featured article, is of signficantly higher quality than Fort Worth's article is. Thanks! Stallions2010 02:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Southern Plains
I believe N. Texas has more in common with that of the southern plains rather than that of the south. E. Texas and SE. Texas definitley whistle dixie a little better than they brand cattle. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.99.142.106 (talk) 01:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC).

>>While it is true North Texas has a topography (except for the cross timbers region) that more resembles the plains than the forested South (which includes East Texas), the region was settled primarily by those from the older Southern states and it is that culture that dominates. I do however believe that the part of the South it has most in common with is -- unlike in East Texas -- Arkansas and parts of Tennesee rather than Mississippi and Alabama. Migrants from the Upper South tended to come to North Texas, while East Texas was the area for those entering from the Deep South. TexasReb 15:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * North Texas does not have more in common with the southern plains; as a local it has more in common with the south.
