==History==
When natural gas was discovered in Elm Township in the summer of 1898 E.K. Taylor sold of his farm to some spelter companies and in October sub-divided the remainder into lots, which was the beginning of "Gas City". The place grew rapidly, the cheap fuel afforded by the immense supply of natural gas bringing in a number of large manufacturing plants of various kinds. In 1910 the population was 1,281, and the city had a bank, a daily and a weekly newspaper, an opera house, an international money order postoffice (first opened in August 1899〔 Containing information taken from 〕) from which mail was distributed to the surrounding country by rural free delivery, several good mercantile houses, telegraph and express offices.
