1859 was an important year in the oil industry. Edwin Drake and George Bissell introduced the first successful oil drilling rig on Oil Creek near Titusville, Pennsylvania.

While Lenoir’s original engine burned a mixture of coal gas, it set the stage for development of a gasoline powered engine in the years to come.
