Oil City
Venango County · United States
Oil City, in Venango County, Pennsylvania, sits at the bend of the Allegheny River where Oil Creek meets it — a setting that shaped one of the most consequential chapters in American industrial history. After the first oil wells were drilled in 1861, the town became a hub of the petroleum industry, hosting headquarters for Pennzoil, Quaker State, and Wolf's Head. Today the region promotes oil heritage sites, Victorian architecture, and nature trails along the waterways.
