History

Historical Context

The Texas Oil Boom began on January 10, 1901, when the Spindletop gusher near Beaumont produced oil at an unprecedented rate, marking the start of the U.S. oil industry. By 1902, Texas had produced over 25 million barrels, transforming its economy and attracting entrepreneurs. This boom laid the foundation for the modern oil sector, significantly influencing Texas's economic landscape.
