Did you know...?
In August 1859, Colonel Edwin Drake struck oil near Titusville, PA, at a depth of only 69.5 feet, and word of the discovery spread around the world. Those three words – “They’ve struck oil!” – caused thousands of people to flood into the Oil Creek Valley. The scene was so hectic, even the California 49ers claimed the conditions far exceeded the gold rushes of the West Coast.
Boomtowns sprang up throughout the river valley almost overnight. Land was cleared and derricks erected. Roads became impassable due to a mixture of oil and mud. There were accounts of a river covered with oil. In fact, the whole area was so thick with oil you could smell it everywhere you went. It wasn’t just the birth of an industry; it was the birth of an age, one whose effects are felt in everyday life even 160 years later.
