Abstract: Oil Springs in Lambton County holds the distinct honour of being the location of the first commercial oil well in North America and oldest continuously operated oil fields in North America. The development of this industry lead to pioneering oil well construction designs and methods used throughout the area. The ‘Black Gold Rush’ of the 1800s ushered in a period of rapid development and intense modification of the landscape to extract petroleum resources. Wildcat wells were hastily constructed and abandoned with limited oversite in hopes of striking it rich. Through investigating how these legacy wells were dug, drilled, reinforced, operated, and forgotten we can understand the changes made to the landscape. By gathering oral histories from the local community, we can find clues to the industrial past that time forgot hidden in our backyards and agricultural lands.
