The History of Dexter

In 1903, the community of Dexter was celebrating the hopes of economic prosperity as a "howling gasser" had been discovered. The citizens were excited about a large pocket of gas that was found below the earth. A huge celebration was planned including a band, speeches and games. The evening would end with the lighting of the gas that was billed to "light the entire countryside for a day and a night".

Imagine the community's dismay as the gas wouldn't burn! A geologist at Kansas University was intrigued by the event and arranged for a sample to be delivered. After several years of research—in 1905—helium was discovered in Dexter.
