History

Gas City was first known as Harrisburg when settled on May 25, 1867, by Noah Harris. It became something of a boom town when natural gas was found in the area in 1887. The Gas City Land Company was founded on March 21, 1892, and the town of about 150 people changed its name to Gas City a few days later. However, as of 2022 much of the gas is depleted. (See Indiana gas boom.)

The Gas City High School, Thompson-Ray House, and West Ward School are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Gas City annually hosts the Ducktail Run Rod and Custom Car Show in the Fall. The “Ducktail Run,” as it is known to locals, is a large car show featuring vehicles from 1972 and older. In the year 2020, the Festival had 2,020 vehicles register to appear.
