Petrolia

The tapping of the first commercial oil well by Edwin Drake and Billy Smith in 1859 set off an exploitative boom of industrial development reminiscent of the gold rush. This text offers a geographical and social history of the Petrolia region - the world's largest oil producer from 1859 to 1873.
