of this subject will appear in a subsequent portion of the Plan. Oil and gas
production appears to be on the rise due to recent discoveries and continuing
exploration in the eastern part of the County. An older oil field is located
in the northeast corner of the County. Natural clays are used in the manufacture
of bricks at the Acme plant.
(4) Surrounding metropolitan influences.- The proximity of the Dallas-Fort Worth
metropolitan area is perhaps the most important single factor in Denton's long
range growth potential. Present trends of industry are toward decentralization
to areas surrounding the concentrated urban centers. This is particularly true
of component manufacturers who serve the larger assembly plants. Denton will
undoubtably draw more of these basic industries, with the resulting population
increases.
Within a period of twenty-five to thirty-five years Denton will be an immediate
suburb of both Dallas and Fort Worth, and will be the place of residence for
many people working in the two larger cities. Future development of rapid tran-
sit systems will have the greatest effect on the timing of this expansion.76
