The Iranian Community in Dallas–Fort Worth
Texas has the second-largest Iranian-American population in the country, and after Houston, the DFW metroplex is its biggest hub. The community here grew in waves — students and professionals from the 1970s onward, joined more recently by families drawn to North Texas's economy and suburbs. Today, Persian life in Dallas stretches from established neighborhoods in North Dallas out through the northern corridor of Richardson, Plano, and Frisco, where Persian businesses sit comfortably alongside the area's broader Middle Eastern and international communities.
