The Oil Boom In Texas

The oil boom helped Texas and the United States in general, whether it was helping the economy, helping small towns become boom towns and many other ways. There were many key factors to this period that gave our country an economical advantage. Such as the wildcatters who worked at oil rigs, Spindletop, one of the biggest oil findings ever, and oil rigs which were machines that dug up oil. The oil boom in Texas, much like the creation of trains, completely shaped our nation's history forever.
There were many occurrences where the oil boom helped the population of Texas, but there was a particular one that I will share to with you. The town of Wink Texas was unheard of before the oil boom, but after the oil boom, the population nearly tripled.
