who found petrol first nd where?????
Answers
Answer:
When Colonel Edwin Drake drilled the first successful oil well in Titusville, Pennsylvania in 1859, few had any idea of how petroleum would change the world. Drake and his backers were looking for a source of kerosene to be used for lighting fuel. For most of the 19th century, gasoline was merely a byproduct of the production of kerosene, with few commercial uses. The remarkable transformation in mobility of people and goods began only after the beginning of the new century.
The primary market for oil had begun to disappear when Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and created the electrical generation industry. In 1882, Edison threw a switch to start the first commercial electrical generating plant and, by the turn of the century, there were over 18 million lightbulbs in use in the U.S. alone. The oil industry lost its major market.
