Putting Parkersburg, West Virginia On The Map
Parkersburg experienced a major economic boom during the Civil War era with the birth of the oil and gas industry-founded quite serendipitously. In 1859, the Rathbone brothers purchased some land in the hopes of finding salt, a large industry at the time. What they found instead was petroleum. Seizing the opportunity, the brothers created one of the first producing oil wells and shipped barrels upon barrels across the country. Parkersburg Rig & Reel Company was soon formed, supplying oil field equipment to petroleum-making centers across the globe. The wealth of the oil barons helped to build the town as well as the state. Today, Parkersburg pays tribute to this history of "black gold" with its well-known Oil and Gas Museum.

Oil wasn't the only staple to come out of Parkersburg. The first bar of "floating soap" was developed by Upson Oils & Soap and later sold by Proctor & Gamble as "Ivory". Parkersburg was also home to the Ames Company (no longer in operation), the largest shovel plant in the world and maker of the shovels "That Built America" used to dig trenches at Bunker Hill. And you have "The Man Who Made Stamps Stick", chemist Victor G. Bloede to thank for developing the lickable glue backing on government stamps.
