Summary

[edit]
Description

Andrews is a city in and the county seat of Andrews County in the U.S. state of Texas within the West Texas region. The population was 16,117 as of 2013. Along with Midland and Odessa, these cities form the Midland-Odessa Combined Statistical Area with a population of 274,002 in four counties. Andrews was the fastest growing Texas micropolitan in 2008 and 2009.

Andrews was incorporated on February 2, 1937. Both the city and county were named for Richard Andrews, the first Texan soldier to die in the Texas Revolution.

Andrews is a city built on oil and soil. After the first oil well was drilled (1929) by Deep Rock Oil Company on Missourian Charles E. Ogden's property Andrews County became one of the major oil producing counties in the State of Texas, having produced in excess of 1 billion barrels (160,000,000 m3) of oil. However, the cyclical nature of the oil business (as well as diminishing production on existing wells), has caused the community to look into new means of economic development, such as waste disposal, which in some areas has caused controversy.
