The Texas Company (Texaco) moved into West Dallas in the 1910s and constructed a large tank storage facility on the south side of Eagle Ford Road. The companyâs tank farm initially stored fuel oil and petroleum distillates for industrial and lighting uses, then from the 1920s on- ward, leaded gasoline. The Texas Companyâs facility was one of at least four that were erected in West Dallas.
