Historical NoteReturn to Top
Arthur Harvey (1896-1976) was a prominent oilman and Denver businessman. In 1939 Harvey ventured into the oil business with the Tex-Harvey Oil Company and drilled his first productive well. The Tex-Harvey Company grew quickly with additional oil discoveries at the Spraberry Trend area in Midland County, Texas; the East Long Lake field in Anderson County, Texas; and the Tonti field in Marion County, Illinois. In Colorado Harvey ran an extensive stock farm, owned Harvey's Food Lockers and helped to develop the residential Harvey Park Company in Denver, Colorado. Harvey served in both world wars and retired as an Air Force major.
