Where to get heating oil in Groton, CT?

Where did victorians get their oil from?

  • Answer:

    Whale oil, Castor Oil, or Colza Oil (a variety of Rapeseed) for a variety of domestic purposes. More popular form of heating was coal from which town gas was extracted and used for lighting to replace tallow candles and plant oil lamps. They also had kerosene. For engineering they had oil extracted in Scotland from the coastal areas of the North Sea (oil shales) as early as 1851. The world's first commercial oil well was drilled in Poland in 1853 with more founded in Russia. Petroleum became a major industry in the United States following the oil discovery at Oil Creek Pennsylvania in 1859. Prior to that 'oozing' oil was collected and refined as it had been for centuries.
