About Freer, Texas

Freer stands in northwestern Duval County. First associated with ranching and water wells, the settlement received its present name with the approval of a post office in 1925. Oil discoveries beginning in 1928 transformed the community into a rapidly growing boomtown.

  • Earlier NamesThe area was first called Las Hermanitas, then Government Wells after cavalry troops dug a water well there in 1876.
  • First SchoolIn 1917, three settlers built a one-room schoolhouse where Virgil Guffey taught nine pupils.
  • Naming the TownFreer was chosen for the post office because the other proposed names, Riley and Wendt, were already used in Texas.
  • Oil BoomBy 1933, Freer had become the second-largest oilfield in the United States.
  • 2020 PopulationThe 2020 census recorded 2,461 residents in Freer.
