In 1889, the Standard Oil Refinery became a source of prosperity for the state of Cleveland, however the pollution they belched into the atmosphere damaged the air around the area. It also damaged the water where the refinery discharged oil into the Cuyahoga River that major fires broke out on the water in 1936, 1952 and 1969. It damaged a lot of property and changed the way industrial plants operated.
