Description
Tioga, North Dakota, transformed from a small town of 456 people in 1951 to a thriving hub of 1,500, thanks to the oil boom started by the Clarence Iverson Well. The towns population surged, and oil revenues topped $50 million since 1981, funding infrastructure improvements and school upgrades. While some residents miss the tight-knit community, others embrace the diversity brought by newcomers. Despite economic dips and tensions between oil and agriculture, Tiogas residents agree that the oil boom has left a positive impact on the town.
