Located in North Texas, Dallas is the fourth most populous metropolis in the state. Historically, Dallas has been one of the most important centers for the oil and cotton industries due to its strategic location along many railway lines.
In the last five years many companies from cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles have started exploring the state to find the best cities for relocation places, and many of them have targeted Dallas as a great place for relocation places. There are a variety of reasons for this, including Texas' business-friendly environment (i.e .: lower business cost, lower taxes and fewer business regulations) and also lower cost of living for employees.
