Texas Triangle, Megaregion in Texas, United States.
The Texas Triangle is a megaregion in Texas that connects four major metropolitan areas spread across the southern half of the state. The region links cities in the north, east, south, and center of Texas and forms an extended urban network spanning several hundred miles.
The megaregion grew during the second half of the 20th century as Texas shifted from a rural economy to an industrial and technological center. The four metropolitan areas attracted businesses and residents and became the economic core of the state.
The metropolitan areas within the Texas Triangle host seven major universities, numerous museums, performing arts centers, and professional sports teams across multiple leagues.
The region is best explored by car since highways connect the four metropolitan areas and distances between cities require several hours of driving. Visitors should account for the size of the region and plan enough time for travel between different metropolitan areas.
The region hosts the second largest port in the United States by cargo and several international airports that provide global connections. It is also home to more than fifty major corporate headquarters spread across the four metropolitan areas.
