Electra: Pump Jack Capital of Texas
Founded in 1950, the Electra Chamber of Commerce has been a cornerstone of our community's business landscape for over seven decades. But Electra's story begins much earlier - with the historic 1911 Clayco Oil Discovery that transformed this small farming community into the "Pump Jack Capital of Texas."
On April 1, 1911, the Clayco No. 1 well erupted in a geyser of oil, launching a boom that brought prosperity and growth to North Texas. Today, Electra is home to approximately 5,000 pump jacks within a 10-mile radius, earning its official designation as Texas's Pump Jack Capital.
