Midland: Permian Basin Capital and the Bush Family City
Midland occupies a position in the central Permian Basin of West Texas, with approximately 132,000 residents in Midland County. The city was founded in 1881 as a midpoint on the Texas and Pacific Railway between Fort Worth and El Paso, which gave it its name. Oil discovery in the Permian Basin in 1923 transformed the regional economy, and Midland grew as an administrative and financial center for the oil fields while operational work concentrated in nearby Odessa.
The Permian Basin is the largest oil-producing region in the United States and has been for most of the last decade. Production accelerated sharply after the development of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology during the 2010s. ConocoPhillips, Pioneer Natural Resources, and Diamondback Energy maintain significant operations tied to Midland, and the downtown skyline shows the wealth concentrated in the field's corporate offices.
George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush both lived in Midland during their early lives, and the elder Bush founded Zapata Oil there in 1953. The George W. Bush Childhood Home, a restored 1950s bungalow on West Ohio Avenue, operates as a small museum. The Midland RockHounds, the Double-A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics, play at Momentum Bank Ballpark.
