Boom towns are here today and gone tomorrow.
Fry was an oil boomtown. The town was born in 1926 and died in 1934. During the span of eight years, the town of Fry captured the attention of thousands that came to the newly discovered oil field with the hope of making their fortune. It all started when a James W. Quinn and two partners bought leases covering 876 acres from ranchers and farmers, most of them members of the Fry family. Production from the Fry field was enormous, so much so that oil transportation was a major problem.
