Baytown, Texas

In 1908, an oil strike was made beside Tabbs Bay. Oil exploration began in earnest and in 1916 the Goose Creek oil field became the first offshore drilling operation in Texas (second in the nation). In 1919, the directors of Humble Oil & Refining Company built a refinery in Baytown. This refinery would become one of the largest in the world, and a very influential force not only in Baytown, but also in World War II. The refinery produced over a billion gallons of aviation fuel (100 octane gasoline) during WWII, and nearly half of the total butyl rubber production in the United States in 1945. Over the next 50 years the population increased from 20,000 to almost 70,000.
