Kilgore is a city located in Gregg and Rusk Counties in the eastern part of Texas, United States. The city's history is deeply intertwined with the East Texas oil boom of the 1930s, when the discovery of the East Texas Oil Field transformed this small farming community into a significant oil industry center.
This heritage is still visible today through the city's preserved derricks and the East Texas Oil Museum at Kilgore College, which documents this pivotal period in Texas history. Kilgore College, established in 1935, has also played an important role in the city's cultural development, particularly through its renowned Kilgore College Rangerettes, the first precision dance-drill team in the world.
The city maintains a balance between its historical oil industry roots and modern development, with its downtown area featuring historic buildings and the "World's Richest Acre," where oil derricks stand as monuments to the city's petroleum heritage.
