Dealey Plaza is a Dallas city park completed in 1940 on the west edge of downtown Dallas where three streets converge (Main Street, Elm Street, and Commerce Street) to pass under a railroad bridge known locally as the triple underpass. The plaza is named for George Bannerman Dealey (1859–1946), an early publisher of The Dallas Morning News and civic leader, and the man who had campaigned for the area's revitalization.

Dealey Plaza is became forever etched in the annals of American History when on November 22, 1963 President John F. Kennedy’s Motorcade pass through the area on Houston and Elm Streets. As the limousine carrying President Kennedy and Texas Governor John B. Connally moved slowly down Elm Street it is alleged that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots from a sixth floor window of the Texas School Book Depository, fatally wounding the President and seriously wounding Governor Connally.
