Pennsylvania producers moving to TX, history of

General Mineral Rights Discussion

I am working on a novel set in the 1950s and 1960s in which the main characters relocate from western Pennsylvania to Corpus Christi TX. I need to have a business reason why they would do this. They were oil producers in PA but productions was drying up. Would there be a reason why they wanted to settle in Corpus rather than some other part of TX. I appreciate any advice you can offer.

Thanks, Marmariposa

Talk to the Chamber of Commerce in Corpus and see what was going on back then. Or hit Wikapedia for a history of CC.

Thanks. I’ll be visiting CC later this fall. Just hoped this post might be noticed by people who had info on this topic that they could share.
