Around 30 years later, the Fort Worth and Denver Railway was built, and its railroad tracks ran through the area.

The opening of 56,000 acres (230 km2) of land north of the railroad station brought more farmers to the area.

Most of these drilling sites were befouled by crude oil, which made the water unfit for drinking.

Three years later, a developer from Fort Worth named Solomon Williams bought the land from Waggoner.

Word spread quickly, and the population increased to over 1,000, with many more oil workers commuting from Wichita Falls.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.4 mi2 (6.3 km2), all land.

The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters.
