Region: Panhandle Plains

The smal Panhandle town of Borger became a boomtown after oil was discovered here in 1926. The discovery brought 45,000 new residents to the community and soon the city was incorporated. The boom went bust when oil prices dropped but petroleum products still remain an important part of this town's economy.
