Texas - Cities
Today, we're taking a trip to the "Lone Star State" - Texas - and visiting its five largest cities. With scenes from some of the state's most iconic cites like Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, and Fort Worth - we have quite the trip planned. We'll start off in Dallas - this modern metropolis is the state's third largest city and is located in the heart of the state's oil industry. Since the city's founding in 1841, its evolved into an important cultural and commercial hub of the region.
Downtown Dallas
Magnolia Building
Fountain Place
About 30 miles west of Dallas is our next stop - Fort Worth. Established in 1849 as an army outpost overlooking the Trinity River, the city has historically long been a center of the cattle trade. Although the city's downtown is smaller compared to some of the state's other major cities, there's still plenty to do and it boasts a number of noteworthy buildings.
Bass Performance Hall
We now visit the capital of Texas - Austin. After growing steadily throughout the 1800s, the city became an important center for government and education with the construction of the Texas State Capitol and the University of Texas. Today, the city is growing rapidly once again - and by some reports is the country's fastest growing city. The skyline is also drastically changing as well, with plenty of modern high rises popping up in recent years.
The Independent & Downtown Austin
Our next stop is another one of the state's most iconic cities - San Antonio. The state's second largest city was founded in 1718 as a Franciscan mission and is site of the famed Alamo, which was captured by Mexican forces in 1836. San Antonio also boasts some of the state's most unique and noteworthy architecture, with many buildings reflecting the city's Spanish, Mexican, and French roots.

We wrap up with a visit to the state's largest city - Houston. This large metropolis in Southeast Texas was founded in 1836 and lies northwest of Galveston Bay - and is named after the hero of San Jacinto, Sam Houston. Today, it's one of the United States' most important industrial, financial, and industrial centers.
