We are extremely proud of these. Education has been very important to our villagers since the 1800's and good schools here have produced many students who became leaders of our great state and nation. Oil and gas have been a large part of our economy. Wells have produced millions of barrels of oil and billions of cubic feet of gas and continue under production to this date. The forest industry is our largest agricultural impact.
Timber is important to many land owners as a means of investment.
Likewise, it's important to area hunters as it provides the natural habitat for many species of wildlife. When you visit our area, you will see Shongaloo as a nice little country place all to itself. Its tranquility continuously draws people trying to escape the hub-bub of metropolitan life even if but for one afternoon.
