Description An account of the resource The Silver Tip oil well just outside of Coalinga, California. The well blew in with the greatest gusher known in California at that time. The oil flow was estimated at 10,000 - 20,000 barrels a day. The roar of the well could be clearly heard in the city of Coalinga a mile and half away. Workmen rushed to build sumps in nearby gullies to hold the oil while motorists drove out to see the display. Coalinga originally started in the late 1800s when coal was discovered in the foothills. The market for coal eventually dropped when oil was discovered and Coalinga became an oil boom town not unlike those established in the gold country. Coalinga was incorporated on 3 April 1906. By 1910 the Coalinga Chamber of Commerce proclaimed Coalinga the greatest oilfield in the United States with some 590 wells producing $10.2 million worth of oil annually.
