Starting as a Frisco railroad stop in 1899, Beggs officially became a town on September 15, 1900 when its post office opened. It originally was a center for hog, cattle, and horse ranches in the area.[ In 1918 oil was discovered just to the west, and Beggs became an oil boomtown until about 1926. After that, corn, cotton, pecans, and stock raising became important local industries, but Beggs began a slow decline, going from an official population of 2,327 in 1920 to 1,531 in 1930 and 1,107 in 1970. The population has since shown some upward fluctuation, settling at 1,321 as of the 2010 census. The town currently has about 1250 residents. [Wikipedia]
