Our History
Oil was discovered in Glenpool in one of the only locations in the country in 1905 by wildcatters Robert Galbreath and Frank Chesley. A gusher was struck on Nov. 22 on a tiny farm owned by Ida E. Glenn known as the Glenn Pool. Since then, more than 340 million barrels have been produced, which most notably made the Tulsa area famous. This oil was instrumental in supporting our troops and vehicles in World War II.
