Hide Profile

Coal and oil company. Formed by Robert Dickey Hunter in Erath County, Texas, 1888. Also, Hunter established the company town, Thurber, Tex., named for H.K. Thurber, Hunter's business partner. Area reached peak development in early 1900s, providing half the coal supply for Texas. Oil discoveries near Ranger, Texas (1917), prompted the company to cease its Thurber operations. In 1933 the company moved its headquarters to Fort Worth. After Seagrams Distillers Company purchased the company in 1963, the offices were moved to Dallas, Tex., and its operations were merged with the Frankfort Oil Company.
