Designations
Since 1925, Oil Springs has held a National Historic Site designation for the Oil Springs oil fields. Reaffirming this national status in 2006. And in 2010, a committee formally defined the borders of the oil heritage cultural landscape. We know our local history has globally significant reach and in 2017, we made a bid for UNESCO World Heritage Site designation.
