El Dorado, Kansas: In 1918, the El Dorado Oil Field was responsible for nearly 13 percent of national oil production and 9 percent of the world's production.
Here's the first thing you need to know about El Dorado. Locals pronounce the name El Do-RAY-do and not the more common way of El Do-RAH-do. And while it's pronounced a bit differently, El Dorado has a lot in common with the mythical city of gold that brought so many European explorers to the West. You won't find much yellow gold in Kansas' El Dorado, but you will find the black variety -- oil. El Dorado sits on atop one of the largest oil fields ever found in the U.S. Today, drilling continues and a large refinery and myriad oil-related businesses can be found in El Dorado.
