Upshur County, Texas
Upshur County centers on Gilmer, seat of the historic East Texas oil field discovered in the 1930s and still home to scattered stripper-well production today. Timber, poultry operations and highway commerce along US 271 and US 80 round out the local economy, with Gilmer's annual Yamboree festival marking its agricultural roots.
