Farming was the major occupation. Henrietta in the 1950's was referred to as a "Boom Town" because of its rapid expansion. Before prospective buyers of new homes and industry could be attracted, an adequate water supply had to be made available. the water system was installed by 1954; a sewage system by 1956; gas lines were laid, supplying many homes with heat. The population zoomed from 3,800 in the early 1950's to 14,000 in the early 60's.
