A Brief History of Frankel City, Texas
Frankel City, at the junction of Farm
roads 181 and 1967 in western Andrews County, began with
the county's oil boom. It was established as Fullerton in
1941 with the drilling of a discovery well by the
Fullerton Oil Company. During World War IIqv
other wells were drilled, and by 1945 there were
reportedly 100 rigs drilling in a five-by-eight-mile area.
Several companies opened oilfield supply stores and built
camps on the sand hills in the area for about 750 workers
and their families. Students were bused to Andrews, which
had the only school in the county. A post office opened in
1948 with G. W. Blanchard as postmaster, and the town was
renamed Frankel City after the Frankel Brothers Oil
Company. Skeet Morris was the community's first and only
mayor. As drilling was completed in the area the town
began to decline, and on March 12, 1976, its post office
closed. At one time the town had several stores and
filling stations, two cafés, two churches, and a telephone
exchange. By the 1980s Frankel City comprised a café, a
house, a mobile home, and an estimated population of
eleven.
