About Skellytown

Skellytown got its start during the 1920s Panhandle oil boom when Skelly Oil Company leased land from a local rancher. The influx of workers quickly turned a temporary camp into a permanent town with a rail depot, shops, and a post office. Today, located right along State Highway 152 in Carson County, it's a quiet, friendly community where neighbors know each other and the town's working-class oil heritage is still part of daily life.
