Laramie Sees Growth From Rock Creek Oil Field Boom
Laramie Wyoming gains from the Rock Creek oil field with Midwest and Standard Oil refineries expanding capacity. Ohio Oil drills 17 wells, employs about 500 workers, and plans further expansion as surrounding areas show potential wells and new fields near Centennial and Lost Soldier. The city grows to 8500, housing remains tight, and the Laramie Council of Industry drives substantial local business development.
