Historic plaque - Thurber
STATE HISTORICAL SURVEY COMMITTEE TEXAS THURBER MOST IMPORTANT MINE SITE IN TEXAS FOR 30 YEARS. COAL HERE, PROBABLY KNOWN TO INDIANS, WAS "DISCOVERED" IN 1886 BY W. W. JOHNSON, WHO WITH HIS BROTHER HARVEY SOLD OUT TO TEXAS & PACIFIC COAL COMPANY IN 1888. (T. & P. COAL COMPANY PROVIDED FUEL FOR THE TEXAS & PACIFIC RAILROAD, BUT WAS INDEPENDENTLY OWNED.) TOWN WAS NAMED FOR H. K. THURBER, FRIEND OF T. & P. COAL COMPANY FOUNDERS. MOST DYNAMIC FIRM MEMBER WAS ROBERT D. HUNTER (1833-1902), DEVELOPER OF 7 OF 15 MINES. NEXT PRESIDENT WAS E. L. MARSTON, HUNTER'S SON-IN-LAW, WHO LEFT MINING LARGELY TO WILLIAM K. GORDON (1862-1949), AN ENGINEER WHO BROUGHT DAILY OUTPUT TO 3,000 TONS. THEN IN 1917, GORDON (BACKED BY MANAGEMENT OF COAL COMPANY) WAS PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR DISCOVERY OF RANGER OIL FIELD, 20 MILES WEST. ADOPTION OF OIL-BURNING RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVES CUT DEMAND FOR COAL. LAST MINE HERE CLOSED IN 1921, AND THE 10,000 OR MORE INHABITANTS OF THURBER BEGAN TO MOVE AWAY. THE COAL FIRM CHANGED ITS NAME TO TEXAS PACIFIC COAL AND OIL COMPANY AND WAS SOLD IN 1963 TO JOSEPH E. SEAGRAM & SONS, INC., FOR $277,000,000.00. RENAMED TEXAS PACIFIC OIL COMPANY, IT IS NOW ONE OF THE LARGEST INDEPENDENT DOMESTIC ENERGY SUPPLIERS. MUCH COAL (BY ESTIMATE 127,000,000 TONS) REMAINS UNDERGROUND.

Red-brick smokestack of the Texas Pacific Coal and Oil Company sign
THIS IS THE SITE OF THE FIRST COMMERCIAL COAL PRODUCED IN TEXAS BY TEXAS & PACIFIC COAL COMPANY. MINED IN 1888. THIS COMPANY WAS THE FORERUNNER OF TEXAS PACIFIC COAL AND OIL COMPANY, NOW ONE OF THE NATION'S SUBSTANTIAL INDEPENDENT PRODUCERS OF OIL AND GAS. THE TRANSITION FROM COAL MINING TO PETROLEUM PRODUCTION WAS ACCELERATED BY THE COMPANY'S DISCOVERY IN 1917 OF OIL AND GAS IN THE GREAT RANGER FIELD, 16 MILES TO THE WEST. IT WAS A NATURAL EVOLUTION OF AN AMERICAN ENTERPRISE DEDICATED TO DEVELOPING NATURAL RESOURCES TO SUPPLY THE NATION'S GROWING NEEDS FOR ABUNDANT ENERGY. BENEATH THIS GROUND LIES PART OF THE 127,000,000 TONS OF COAL STILL OWNED BY TEXAS PACIFIC, WHICH MAY BE MINED IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS TEXAS' ONLY KNOWN DEPOSIT OF BITUMINOUS COAL OCCURS FROM THE SURFACE TO A DEPTH OF 450 FEET.
