For sixty-seven years it has served its purpose well. Nottingham Township was quite young when the school was built. The first settler, Joseph Blacklege, arrived on September 19, 1837. During the next year, when ten more families moved into the area, it could be said that the community actually began. Nottingham, organized in the 1840 ' s, was probably named after Nottingham, England. The village of Nottingham, perhaps the oldest in the township, took the name for itself. Other early towns were Phoenix, Domestic, Ruth, and Derrick. As a result of an oil boom, the town of Petroleum was built in the 1890 ' s. At this time, wells were being drilled all over Indiana, but none of them produced better than the wells in this community. It was reported at this time, that no less than twenty-five oil derricks could be counted while standing at the cross roads at Nottingham. In 1910 Petroleum felt the need for a larger school, so the rooms for grades one and two, science, English, home economics rooms and the coat halls were added. In 1924 the remainder of the school, as we know it today, was built. Now, in 1966 Petroleum is closing its doors as a high school. A new school, Southern Wells High School, built in Chester Township, will absorb stu- dents from Petroleum. It is with deep respect and everlasting memories, that we, the graduating class of 1966 dedicate this yearbook to the many years of faithful service rendered by Petroleum School.
