[edit] History

The area began being developed by Trammell Crow in 1957 under the name The Trade Mart. It was wildly successful and a top stop for dealers across the nation. In 1963, the Trade Mart would've been President John F. Kennedy's next stop had he not been tragically assassinated while being driven through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas.

The center today has become slightly blighted, albeit monetarily prolific. The six-building campus is the largest wholesale market on Earth, covering 6.9 million square feet (641,000 m²) and housing 2,200 permanent showrooms for over 50,000 manufacturers. ^{[1] [2]}
