Gorman
“HOME OF PEACEFUL SPRING-FED BASS LAKE”

Gorman is home of spring fed Bass Lake. Discovered in the mid-1800s, the cool waters of the lake are a constant pleasure. Frank Grey Memorial Park is situated alongside the peaceful lake, and was Gorman’s (then called Shin Oaks) original home. In 1888, the town relocated to its current location and was aggressive in the oil boom, shooting its population up past 20,000. Today, the quiet little town of Gorman has an economy that is rich in diversity. High-speed broadband services and a board-certified acupuncture physician bring signs of the progressive metropolitan areas to this superior ranching and farming area. Recreation includes hunting, fishing, and birding. Gorman has the renowned ZJ’s Steakhouse. The annual Peanut Festival celebrates our heritage in the Peanut Farming industry and is held the 2nd Saturday in September. This festival includes a parade, entertainment, booths, street dance, queen coronation, BBQ cook-off, ranch rodeo, antique car show, and Goober Bake-Off. Contest.
