"The Rich Oil History of the Osage"

The legacy of oil and the Osages is one of the most intriguing facts of the oil industry in America.

On March 16, 1896, the first oil and gas lease was obtained covering all the Osage Reservation, and on October 28, 1897 the first producing well was completed and oil sold May, 1900.

The oil sold from this well was the first sold from an oil well in Oklahoma.

Since this historic beginning, billions of barrels of oil have been sold from wells in the Osage Nation, and Osage County became the state's most prolific oil producing area.
