DESTINATION

Arkansas City

As the West lost its wildness, Arkansas City became what its Arkansas River site promised—a marketing and transportation center. The discovery of oil in the vicinity in the early 20th century added the refineries and other petroleum-related industries that dominated the economy through the middle part of the century.
