History
A classic oil-boom town, Empire City started in the late 1910s as drilling activity in Stephens County mushroomed. At its peak, its estimated population was about 3000. The original post office was established in February 1921 and discontinued in December 1934. With the boom long gone, the population by 1980 dwindled to just 13 persons. But the town started a rebound in the mid-1980’s. While no post office has been reestablished, the 2010 census counted 955 inhabitants.
