History

Todd City is thought to be named for a family who lived there in the late 1880s with the same last name. It had a factory, oil tanks, and numerous scattered housing units in the 1930s and 1940s. It also had several scattered homes in 1982 and had only one operating business three years later. Oil production is currently occurring in a nearby oilfield. It had a population of only 10 in 2000.[2]
