When the industry giant of Shell Oil located to the town of Norco, LA in 1929, it was big news! During this era, the petrochemical industry was just starting up. Shell brought jobs, community improvements and a sturdy tax base to St. Charles Parish. The Shell complex was a community within a community. Complete with a swimming pool, baseball diamond and recreation hall; families lived on-site and social activities revolved around the complex. The town of Norco and Shell share a fence row and co-exist as neighbors. The 90th year celebration of Shell Norco honored the history, the people, and the community of both Shell and Norco.
