POTD: Andrews

This marker stands at the original townsite of Andrews, a West Texas oil town. The town dates back to 1878 when buffalo hunter Henry Moore hand dug a water well here and paved the way for later settlers. The town is named for Richard Andrews, the first man to be killed in the Battle of Concepción during the Texas Revolution. The 1920s brought the discovery of oil to Andrews County, and it continues to be the region's biggest money producer today.
