Forty-five years before the drilling of the famous 1859 Colonel
Drake oil well in Pennsylvania, oil was produced and marketed from
salt brine wells dug in southeast Ohio. The oil was bottled and
sold as a cure-all medicine, Seneca Oil. In 1860, one of the first
oil fields in Ohio was discovered approximately 10 miles southeast
of these wells. The 1885 discovery of the giant Lima-Indiana oil
field set off the oil boom of northwest Ohio, a period of land
speculation and rapid oil field development that lasted over 20
years and propelled Ohio into the leading oil-producing state from
1895 to 1903. John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil of Cleveland built
storage tanks, pipelines, and a refinery near Lima. The Ohio Oil
Company, now Marathon Oil, was active in the area and still
maintains an office in Findlay. The Bremen oil field was discovered
in south-central Ohio in 1907, setting off another oil boom, which
included drilling within the city limits.
