History

This community was originally named Lawson, for the townsite owner, Stonewall J. Lawson. A post office was established here January 17, 1894. The post office was renamed Quay in honor of Pennsylvania Senator Matthew Quay on February 24, 1903. Initially, Quay was an agricultural center. The discovery of oil nearby caused the population to mushroom from about one hundred to about four thousand during the early 1920s. Oil production dried up and the town population declined to 186 at the 1930 census. [6] [lower-alpha 1] The post office closed in 1957 and the school closed in 1965. [6] Outlaw Bill Doolin was killed here in 1896 by Lawman Heck Thomas and his posse.
