SPINDLETOP OILFIELD. The Spindletop oilfield, discovered on a salt dome formation south of Beaumont in eastern Jefferson County on January 10, 1901, marked the birth of the modern petroleum industry.
The Gladys City Company participated with the Yount-Lee Oil Company and others in this second boom. Although this second wave was more controlled than the first, competition was keen; one particular one-acre tract sold for $200,000. By 1927 Spindletop production reached its all-time annual high of 21,000,000 barrels.
