Awning Dealers Wanted: Navarro County

Navarro County runs on deep history and deep pride. In 1894, while drilling artesian wells for the city’s water supply, Corsicana struck the state’s first major commercial oil discovery, and within years Texas had its first refinery, its first storage tanks, and a boom that peaked at 840,000 barrels in 1900. The Powell Oil Field gushers of 1923 out-produced Pennsylvania and nine other states. More than 200 million barrels have flowed since 1895, the longest continuous oil flow in Texas, and the oil-millionaire homes and Gothic Revival towers it built still define the county.

Downtown Corsicana is a 25-block Corsicana Commercial Historic District, anchored by the 1926 State National Bank, an eight-story Gothic Revival tower that was built to symbolize the city’s oil wealth, and the 1905 Navarro County Courthouse on West 3rd Avenue. Mills Place Historic District’s fine residences testify to the affluence of the boom years. These owners don’t buy commodity shade; they buy systems worthy of the architecture.

The cultural draw is real and famous: Collin Street Bakery has shipped its DeLuxe Fruitcake worldwide since 1896 from 401 West 7th Avenue, a recipe carried from Wiesbaden, Germany. Wolf Brand Chili was born in 1895 when Lyman T. Davis sold five-cent bowls from a wagon near the Blue Front Saloon, and the bronze-and-steel wolf monument downtown still draws the curious. Pioneer Village’s restored 1800s buildings, the Cook Center Planetarium on the Navarro College campus, and Petroleum Park’s discovery-well site round out a tourism base that keeps the county visible.

Sitting about an hour south of Dallas on the I-45 corridor, Corsicana catches DFW overflow, commuters, and weekend shoppers, while the county’s acreage communities, lake homes, and farm-to-market neighborhoods stretch into the Blackland Prairie. The East Texas climate does the selling: pollen, insects, and long hot summers make outdoor spaces a promise that shade systems keep.
