History

[edit]

El Paso Natural Gas Company built a refinery at the Continental Divide in New Mexico around the area of 35.48698357712149, -108.4264608980443.[5][circular reference] The refinery was known locally as the Gallup Refinery or the Ciniza Refinery. By 1964, El Paso Gas sold the refinery to the Shell Oil Company.[6] Then in 1982, Giant Oil Refining purchased the refinery from Shell.[6] In 1987. Giant built the largest truck stop and retail facility in their chain one mile south from the refinery.[6] On June 7, 2003, Giant sold its travel center in Jamestown to Pilot Travel Centers.[6] Pilot Travel Center #305[7][8] houses Jamestown's post office; the post office has ZIP code 87347.[4][7]

According to USA Today, in 1993 the truck stop and refinery were the only two establishments in the community.[8] By 2020, there were also a Fire Department.[9] The oil refinery changed ownership several times[10] and was slated to close by October 2020, as per its last owner, Marathon Petrolueum.[11]
