Answer:

The state that can lay claim to the first oil rush in 1859 is Pennsylvania.

Explanation:

In 1859, for the first time, abundant oil flowed from the Edwin L. Drake extraction tower. Word spread, and Pennsylvania went crazy: in a hurry, from every corner of the United States, fortune hunters went in search of black gold. With that fever, the oil industry was born.

It was in the lands of Hibbard Farm, located in Titusville (Pennsylvania), where the first profitable oil well appeared in history. Edwin L. Drake had been looking underground for a long time. He knew that if he found the right site and technique, the benefits of extracting oil in large quantities would be millionaires.

And he did. On August 27, 1859, 23 meters deep, the precious liquid finally began to sprout. With the help of a bomb, Drake's men began the extraction: the first day they filled 25 barrels. Soon, no investor wanted to run out of land in the vicinity of Titusville, starting the 1859 oil rush.
