Dallas is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Hume.
Dallas was named after the Governor of Victoria Sir Dallas Brooks. The Victorian Housing Commission built many of the houses in the Dallas area between 1961 and 1970. The Dallas Primary School was built in 1963. Dallas North Primary opened in 1965.
Prior to the construction of the suburb the Dallas area was primarily used for agriculture. In 1924 the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works built a reservoir for reticulating water for the Broadmeadows area.
The ABS reported in the 2001 Census that 28% of Dallas's residents originate from Turkey, as anyone can see from a visit to Dallas Primary School. Also, many signs in Dallas are written in both English and Turkish.
