Descriptions of Great Northwest Oil Fields by J W Dunn
The article surveys the Electra area in Wichita County Texas, noting Electra’s growth from a hamlet to a 5,000 population center with 60 residents previously. It highlights oil discoveries in 1911 near the town, major producers like W J Wraggoner, and royalty incomes, plus the rapid expansion to nearly 2,000 wells and the lack of local refineries, with nearby plants in Low Park, Beaumont, Houston, and Port Arthur.
