Dallas is the most populated city in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. North Texas was home to several indigenous tribes, including the Caddo, Tawakoni, Wichita, Kickapoo, and Comanche.
Texas was claimed by Spanish colonists in the eighteenth century as a part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Although they never made many settlements there, France later claimed the region as well. Because of this, the food in the state is highly diverse and varied of past and present influences.
