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