About D/FW
The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex encompasses the metropolitan divisions of Dallas–Plano–Irving and Fort Worth–Arlington, within the U.S. state of Texas. The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex is officially known as the Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington Metropolitan Area, a title designated by the U.S. Census as of 2003 and consists of twelve counties in North Texas.
According to the U.S. Census 2000, the metropolitan area had a population of 5.1 million (though a July 1, 2005 estimate placed the population at 5.8 million). The Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington MSA is the largest metropolitan area in Texas and the entire South, the fifth largest in the United States, and the 52nd largest metropolitan area in the world.
The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex is mainly served by the area codes of 214, 972 and 469 for Dallas County, Collin County, and the southeastern and southern portions of Denton County; 817 and 682 for Tarrant County (817 also extends into a portion of Denton County, Johnson County, and Parker County); and 940 when including Denton. The 940 area code extends into Wichita Falls, although the city is not included in the metropolitan area. The western portion of area code 903 (which primarily serves east and northeast Texas) extends into the eastern counties of the Metroplex.
