Rio Bravo Oil Company
The Rio Bravo Oil Company had a sawmill servicing the oil industry boom at Saratoga. The Beaumont Journal of February 5, 1905, noted that the company's “big sawmill . . . located at Saratoga has been moved from the old location to a point nearer to the gusher district. The mill is used in cutting derrick and rig timbers and various other purposes . . .”.
