A '''metroplex''' is an area of a few very close statistical [[metropolitan area]]s that converge upon one another. <ref>{{cite web| author=Dictionary.com | title=Definition of "metroplex" | url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/metroplex | accessmonthday=27 June | accessyear=2006}}</ref> The term was first, and is still commonly, applied to the [[Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex]]. <ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ntc-dfw.org/news/newsarchives/metroplex.html| author=North Texas Commission | title= "Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex" brand serves region well | date=1 Jan 2002 | accessmonthday=27 June | accessyear=2006}}</ref> |

The most common use of the word '''metroplex''' in the [[United States]] is for: |
|||
*[[Dallas, Texas|Dallas]] - [[Fort Worth, Texas|Fort Worth]], sometimes called '''[[Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex|DFW]]'''; the area around Dallas and Fort Worth is regularly referred to as simply "The Metroplex" in print and television media inside the state of [[Texas]], unlike the other metropolitan areas listed. |

Redirect to:
- To a disambiguation page: This is a redirect to a disambiguation page. This redirect is intended for use in links from other articles that need to refer to the disambiguation page, rather than be disambiguated. Therefore, this template should only appear on a redirect page that has "(disambiguation)" at the end of its title. Ambiguous titles that do not have page names ending with "(disambiguation)" should use {{R from ambiguous term}} instead. For disambiguations that later prove to still be ambiguous (e.g. "(painter)" when there are multiple notable painters by the same name) and which redirect to disambiguation pages, then {{R from incomplete disambiguation}} is the appropriate rcat template.
