In 1859, oil was successfully drilled in Titusville, resulting in the birth of the modern oil industry. Titusville's history is almost all about oil. The name was derived from Jonathan Titus who was the first settler, coming to this lush valley in Crawford County in 1796. Within 14 years others bought and improved the land near him. A village grew that he named Edinburg(h), although local usage referred to the little hamlet as Titusville. The village was incorporated as a borough in 1847.
