Most people have no idea that the entire modern oil industry was born in a small creek valley in northwestern Pennsylvania. 🛢️

In August of 1859, a former railroad conductor named Edwin Drake drilled a 69-foot hole in the ground along Oil Creek near Titusville, Venango County. What came up changed the world. It was the first commercially successful oil well ever drilled, and within months, the hills of northwestern Pennsylvania were covered in wooden derricks. The global petroleum industry, the rise of Standard Oil, the first billionaires in American history: all of it traces back to a muddy Pennsylvania creek bank.

Here's what most people don't realize: Edwin Drake died nearly penniless in 1880. He never patented his drilling method. He never profited from the industry he created. The state of Pennsylvania eventually granted him a small pension out of sympathy. The man who started the oil age died broke while the men who followed him into that valley became the wealthiest people on earth. Have you ever visited the Drake Well Museum in Titusville? 👇
