Dealey Plaza

Dealey Plaza , named after George Dealey, is a city park in the West End Historic District of downtown Dallas, Texas. It is sometimes called the "birthplace of Dallas", and was the location of the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. The Dealey Plaza Historic District was named a National Historic Landmark on the 30th anniversary of the assassination, to preserve Dealey Plaza, street rights-of-way, buildings, and structures by the plaza visible from the assassination site, which have been identified as witness locations or as possible locations for the assassin.
