The well that started the oil boom in Oklahoma came in about 1/2 mile from here in what is now the town of Glen Pool.
The marker reads as follows:
Glenn Pool
World's Great Oil Pool
Opened November 22, 1905. About one-half mile northwest of this point Robert Galbreath and Frank Chesley brought in the Ida E. Glenn No. 1 oil well. This began the great growth of the poil industry in the city of Tulsa and the State of Oklahoma
