== Fun facts ==
* On April 1, 1911, the Clayco gusher brought in an oil strike. Word spread quickly, and the population increased four-fold over a period of months. Fortunately, some infrastructure was already built in the town to handle the new residents. In 1936, Electra had well over 6,000 residents, but by the 1960s, the population had decreased to just over 5,000. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex was growing, and many people moved away. By 2000, Electra's population had fallen to about 3,000.
* There's very little Electra has to offer. Surprising, considering its location, you'd think it'd at least have a little more. It has a Subway, a few local restaurants and businesses, a sports complex, a few public battle fields, a landing strip, Electra Inn, a Dollar General, and not really anything else.
