Series II: Texas Eastern Corporation, 1945 - 1989
Series
Scope and Contents note
Series II contains the records of the Texas Eastern Corporation. The company came into being in 1947 under the name of Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation, also known at TETCO or simply Texas Eastern, when a group of investors purchased the Big Inch and Little Big Inch pipelines. Those pipelines stretched from the rich oil and gas fields of Texas and surrounding states to the industrial heartland of the United States, then located in the upper Midwest near Detroit and east to the Jersey shores. To the industries in the east those pipelines were vital arteries fueling the post-World War II expansion. With the control of those pipelines, Texas Eastern experienced a meteoric growth.
