}} A metroplex is a contiguous metropolitan area that has more than one principal anchor city of nearly equal size or importance, commonly associated with the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.{{Citation needed|date=October 2018}} According to Texas Monthly, the term is a portmanteau of the terms "metropolitan" and "complex"[1] and was created by local advertising agency TracyLocke.[2] The North Texas Commission trademarked the term "Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex" in 1972 as a replacement for the previously ubiquitous "North Texas".[3] Urban areas with smaller secondary anchor cities (such as Mexico City, New York City, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, and Phoenix) are not considered metroplexes.{{Citation needed|date=October 2018}} References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.texasmonthly.com/the-culture/dont-call-it-the-metroplex/|author=Texas Monthly|title=Don’t Call It the Metroplex|year=2013}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.texasmonthly.com/the-culture/dont-call-it-the-metroplex/|author=Texas Monthly|title=Don’t Call It the Metroplex|year=2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ntc-dfw.org/ntchistory.html|author=North Texas Commission|title=History|year=2013|accessdate=1 October 2013|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004215253/http://www.ntc-dfw.org/ntchistory.html|archivedate=4 October 2013|df=mdy-all}} See also
