I think Dallas is the largest city in the country not built on a major river,great lake or ocean. DFW airport caused the growth spurt. And, because Dallas was not built on a grid, and never should have got this big, it makes it hard to navigate and traffic is amongst the worse in the country.

Hmmmm......... I was sure I had heard it was not. I've been to Dallas a few
times in my life, but never really "been there". Was always fly in, deal
with business, fly out. Never and touring or spending time while I was
there.

Didn't Milton Freidman write on of his many works about how economic forces

I know that historically, all major cities were built, unintentionally
perhaps, on rivers or bays due to their access to water transportation:
Rome, Athens, Paris, Berlin, New York, Detroit, etc. Later, at least here
in the west, access to railroad was a driving force in the building of
cities.
