​Today in Texas History

By Bandera Spirits of Texas

On this day in 1935 the first major gusher blew in at the Seven Sisters oilfield. Thus began the town of Seven Sisters in northern Duval County.
Prospectors struck oil again two years later, and the community had a post office by 1940 and the name Seven Sisters—translated from the Spanish Siete Hermanas.

Founded by newspaper veterans, the Prophet delivers up-to-date information by writers and photographers who combined have 50-plus years of experience in the field and newsroom. Always free to readers, the Prophet is published on multiple platforms, and shared within the online community to more than 150,000 people.
