Phillips Town Built by Phillips Petroleum in Panhandle

Phillips, three miles north of Borger, grew from 1925 when Phillips Petroleum entered manufacturing. The town features a large school system, modern high and elementary schools, a 71 grad year, and a strong move to housing to meet war production needs. Local industry dominates, with most taxes paid by Phillips Petroleum. The 18 square mile district supports bands, athletics, and a growing youth program, while most residents shop in Borger, Pampa, or Amarillo.

Phillips Panhandle town thrives amid war boom era

In Phillips Texas the growing oil community builds a strong wartime infrastructure. The Pantex Camp Committee shapes speed laws and safety while a new hospital looms and a butadiene plant aids the war effort. Phillips football, clubs, and a picturesque camp reflect postwar expansion.

Transportation Seen As Vital in War

Maj. Gen. Richard Donovan, commanding general of the Eighth Service Command, told army and civilian highway officials from area states that transportation of men and materials by road is becoming a deciding factor in victory. He called highway transport a safety valve in the overall system and said the army will rely on it more as the war continues.
