Notes
  • Significance: Western Pennsylvania is the birthplace of the modern petroleum industry, signified by the drilling of Edwin Drake's oil well near Titusville in 1859. Subsequent development of the Appalachian oil region, stretching from New York to Tennessee, revealed hundreds of oil fields that produced a particularly fine quality of petroleum, often called Pennsylvania Grade crude oil, that is still largely unsurpassed in its lubricating qualities. For thirty-five years, western Pennsylvania led the nation in petroleum production, and techniques of drilling and pumping oil perfected in Appalachia found usage around the world.
