Fact Slap 👋 Today in 1901, the first Texas Gusher is discovered in the Spindletop oil field, Texas. The Spindletop gusher blew for 9 days at a rate estimated at 100,000 barrels per day. The Spindletop discovery led the United States into the oil age. Prior to Spindletop, oil was primarily used for lighting and as a lubricant. Because of the quantity of oil discovered, burning petroleum as a fuel for mass consumption suddenly became economically feasible. Video: The Lucas gusher at Spindletop ph

Spindletop blew in on January 10, 1901, near Beaumont, Texas, when the Lucas gusher roared skyward and opened the modern oil age. It birthed Texaco and Gulf, pulled wildcatters from every corner, and turned the coastal prairie into boomtown chaos. Overnight, Texas went from cattle and cotton to derricks and fortunes, and Spindletop became the spark that reshaped energy, industry, and the swagger of the state forever.
