1901
On January 10, 1901, an enormous geyser of oil exploded from a drilling site at Spindletop Hill, a mound created by an underground salt deposit located near Beaumont in Jefferson County, southeastern Texas. Reaching a height of more than 150 feet and producing close to 100,000 barrels a day, the "gusher" was more powerful than any previously seen in the world. A booming oil industry soon grew up around the oil field at Spindletop, and many of the major oil companies in America, including Gulf Oil, Texaco and Exxon, can trace their origins there.

The Spindletop gushed hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil on January 10, 1901 marking the start of the oil boom for the United States. Located a few miles south of Beaumont, Texas, a salt dome was discovered to contain enough oil that once drilled into, spewed oil over 100 feet high. From then, people in Texas knew how to tap the lucrative substance successively and was able to continue with multiple wells which led to the U.S. becoming the top producer of oil at the beginning part of the 20th century.
