The oil boom of the 1860s attracted far more people to the
area than could share directly in the oil profits. Some people found ways to make money through support services,
such as transportation. You could only cross Oil Creek by
ferry or ford until the Maple Shade Oil Company and the
Central Petroleum Company, landowners on either side, built
a toll bridge here in 1865.
