A Traveler's Guide to Mesquite

Mesquite is a city that is located in the northeastern region of the US state of Texas. It is a suburb of the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. The primary language of Mesquite is English, although a portion of the population also speaks Spanish.

The region was originally a stop along the Texas and Pacific Railroad line just outside of downtown Dallas. The line ran from Dallas to Shreveport, Louisiana to the south. It was primarily a farming community until the early 20th century. Local crops included corn, sugar, hay, and cotton. The railroad was used to ship the goods to other cities in the area. After World War 2 the city became a suburban town to Dallas. As Dallas grew so grew Mesquite. Today Mesquite embodies much of the "western" feel of Texas and attracts thousands of people each year to its rodeos and other cultural events. The city is also home to several large companies, such as id Software, UPS, and Microsoft products.
