Description | The Sistersville Oil Review chronicles Sistersville's metamorphosis from a quiet town to a thriving oil hub in the late 19th century. Founded by the McCoy brothers, it rose alongside the oil industry, catering to the burgeoning population with its daily updates on oil prices, drilling news, and community affairs. The paper's growth mirrored Sistersville's expansion, boasting advanced printing technology and multiple iterations to meet demand. However, as the oil boom waned, so did the paper's fortunes, eventually succumbing to the industry's decline by the early 20th century. Despite its eventual closure, the Review remains a testament to western West Virginia's oil-rich history. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1898 of this newspaper. |
