 First Great American Oil Well
The pioneer white men who first explored and settled in Kentucky to call it their new home, brought with them, among other necessities, small quantities of salt to preserve the game which abounded in Kentucky's dense wooded forests.
When these small quantities were nearing exhaustion neighbors pooled their labor, and after procuring natural brine such as could be found at Blue Licks, Big Bone Lick, or in what was known as Salt Lick Bend of Cumberland River, they would boil down the brine and replenish their salt supply.
Late in the winter of 1829 one such salt well was drilled on the farm of Lemuel Stockton, adjacent to and lying between the waters of Big Rennick's and Little Rennick's Creeks.
