Resourceful Spirit
Serving as the County Seat of Ector County with a population of roughly 100,000, Odessa is located in the heart of the Permian Basin. It also serves as the crucial midpoint between Fort Worth and El Paso.

Founded in 1881, the city was originally just a water stop and cattle-shipping point on the Texas and Pacific railway. Of course, that was a time when ranching was the foremost industry in Texas. With the discovery of oil in West Texas in 1926, the city made a drastic change that focused on all things petroleum.

The new oil fields needed equipment and support services. Odessa was the closest city by rail, and soon became the hub for oil service, transportation, supply, and manufacturing. Today, we have diversified significantly, but we’re still considered one the major oil field technology centers in the world.

Ever since, and for nearly a century now, we’ve been on the right side of history. Our legendary culture and citizenry make Odessa a prime location for businesses and families to thrive for years to come.
