Dallas County Historical Markers
NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY - 391
Have -95 Need- 296
May have been named for George Mifflin Dallas the 11th Vice- president of the United States. The County Seat is Dallas, it is the third largest Texas city. Pretentious, snobby, fast-paced, rich, you could hear any of these adjectives to describe Dallas, it's a big, spread out busy city. We have been to Dallas several times through, when in the area we tend to stay in Fort Worth which is my preference. It is the county that has the most markers though traffic and distance makes capturing them tiring and we really can only do a few hours without losing patience. There are many people that have covered Dallas County far more completely than we have and it would take a couple of full weeks for us to given come close to capturing the marjority of the markers, which I don't see happening any time soon.
As far as the markers there is one unique thing in Dallas County. There are at least four older markers still listed in the Texas Historic Atlas that may never of been placed. I wrote Dallas Historical Commission but they could not supply answer to any of my questions, the focus being on new markers.
Steve has actually lived in Dallas and if it ever came down to having to transfer out of Austin, given the choice between Houston and Dallas he would choose Dallas, all be it reluctantly.
