Founded in 1907 by industrialist C. W. Post, Post first drew an abundant water supply from windmills above the Caprock and later from White River Lake. Extensive ranching and farming developed here, and Postex Cotton Mills, making sheets and pillowcases, furnished year-round employment. The community also became a service center for more than 1,750 oil wells in the county.
