From Empty Prairie to Excessive Profit, Boomtown Borger was a Seldom-seen Phenomenon!

Borger, Texas around the time when lots went on sale.

Before 1925, Hutchinson county had fewer than 100 registered voters, but the population began to grow very quickly after the Smith #1 struck oil on January 11, 1926. The well blew in for more 10,000 barrels a day! Oil was discovered in Hutchinson County in 1921, but the Smith #1 put the Panhandle oil strike - soon to be renamed the Borger oil strike - on the map!

Ace Borger received a telegram from his sister Wilma, who told him “something big was about to happen” here! Wilma was the wife of Gulf Oil Company drilling foreman Carl Horton. As the camp cook for the crews who were drilling wells on the 6666 Ranch in Carson County under Carl’s supervision, Wilma was paying close attention to the action in the new field and told her brother to “come a-runnin!” He did just that! The camp where she was living and working was a few miles south of where her brother would soon build his new town. Ace Borger quickly came to the Panhandle and brought his partner, Johnny Miller to have a first-hand look. They bought 240 acres from ranchers John and Maggie Weatherly for $50 an acre and began selling lots on March 8, 1926. They made over $100,000.00 that day! Their $12,000 investment yielded over $1,000,000 in less than 6 months - an 8,333% profit - not bad for a couple of Missouri boys in 1926!

Many men brought their wives and children with them to Boomtown.

It only took a couple of years for Boomtown to grow from from a primitive settlement of shanties and shacks to a modern city with brick buildings, water and indoor plumbing, electricity, schools and stores that sold most of what its citizens needed. Borger quickly evolved into a town with plenty of jobs, steady employment and a became a good place to raise a family!

Tin, wood, and brick structures were thrown together to accomodate the throngs that made their way to Boomtown. There was little housing, food, water, electricity or any other of the many conveniences that we take for granted today. Rooms rented for between $50.00 and $100.00 per month.

Many rooming houses were occupied by 3 shifts of men - the beds were slept in 24 hours a day. Supplies of all kinds for the oilfields as well as the people who lived in Boomtown had to be shipped in from nearby towns or elsewhere in the United States. The nearest railroad was 25 miles away in Panhandle, Texas, Ace owned the lumber and brick yards and he made another fortune selling building materials for his new town. News of this strike appeared on the front page of the New York Times - above the fold!

Thousands came to Borger seeking their fortunes, and some found them in one of the over 800 wells that had been drilled by the end of the year.

Visit the past at HCHM!

Hutchinson County occupies land with deep, rich history. Spanish explorer Coronado passed this way searching for the lost cities of gold in 1541. Native Americans hunted buffalo on this land on their migratory jouneys for centuries until pioneers came here and settled on lands the native Americans had always thought of as their own. White men fought two battles with Commanche, Kiowa, Arapahoe and Cheyenne warriors near the former Bent St. Vrain & Co. trading post known as Adobe Walls. Ranchers followed shortly thereafter to raise cattle in the vast, seemingly uninhabited plains and with their livestock, also brought irrevocable change to the Texas Panhandle in the late 1800’s.

Oil was discovered here in 1921 and brought even more profound change to this part of the Texas Panhandle. Visit the Museum and learn more about these stories and many, many more!

Experience the past in our numerous permanent and temporary exhibits and also in many special and regularly scheduled events.

Museum hours are: Tues.-Fri. 9am-5pm Sat. 1-4:30 pm • Free Admission • Donations appreciated • Kid-friendly

This photo illustrates the striking collision of two cultures. Boundary lines that were laid in 1876 marked the establishment of Hutchinson County, Texas. The County’s future then appeared to be dependent on ranching and farming. Large, established cattle ranches were numerous. New farming practices were beginning to transform the arid high plains into productive farm land. Agriculture was king.

But in 1923, the Gulf Oil Company drilled its first well in Hutchinson County on the Dial Ranch. The Dial No.1 produced 135 barrels of oil a day. The resulting “Oil Boom” drastically changed the lives of those early settlers. Nothing “around these parts” would ever the same.

The change that came to this isolated region of Texas transformed this quiet, rural region into a noisy frenzy of industrial growth and development. The oil boom made wealthy people of many of the early land holders and made millionaires of many of those flocking to the area to seek their fortunes. Those fortunes helped lay the groundwork for this place we call home.
