North Texas

|
North Texas is a distinct cultural and geographic area forming the central-northeastern section of the US state of Texas. North Texas is generally considered to include the area south of Oklahoma, east of Abilene, Texas, and north of Waco, Texas. North Texas, being more in precisely the northern part of the eastern portion of Texas, does not include the Panhandle of Texas, despite the fact that it extends farther north.
North Texas is centered upon the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, the largest metropolitan area in Texas. People in the Dallas and Fort Worth areas sometimes use the terms "Metroplex" and "North Texas" interchangeably. However, North Texas actually refers to a much larger area that includes many rural counties.
