Located on the Bud W Davis Farm 1 mile east, Cooke County's first producing oil well came in on November 9, 1924, heralding the beginning of a multi-million dollar industry and a new lifestyle for the surrounding farm community. A carnival atmosphere prevailed while sightseers and reporters flocked to the lease, and one enterprising man charged admission until questioned by a worker. The discovery well, drilled by C.A. Doudrick's Big Indian Oil Company, continued to produce until 1970, when it was plugged.
