Word spread quickly and the population increased four-fold over a period of months. Waggoner, successfully lobbied railroad executives to build a railroad station at the site. Retrieved December 30, 2007.

Daniel Waggoner started a ranch in present-day Electra in 1852. While in 1936, Electra had well over 6,000 residents, by the 1960s the population had decreased to a bit over 5,000. Water can be scarce in this region of Texas, so Waggoner started drilling for water for the towns new residents.
