Artist's Description
Shamrock, Texas was given its name by an Irish immigrant, George Nickel, who wanted to open a post office there in 1890. He never opened that post office. In 1926, the discovery of oil and the operation of natural gas wells by Shamrock Gas Company helped spur the city's continuing growth. A decline in the oil industry caused the population to drop in the 1940s, but it rebounded in the next decade with the improvement of Route 66.

About Lee Craig
I am a photographer and visual artist, enjoying the freedom that comes with doing something that I love for a living.
