Description
The
city
of
Findlay
was
founded
1812
, but
most
of the
city's
growth
followed
the
discovery
of
natural
gas
in
Findlay
,
which
was
first
drilled
in
December
1884
. This
4.5
" by

(11.43
by

cm)
cabinet
card
depicts
the
June
1887
celebration
marking
the
first
anniversary
of the
industrial
application
of
natural
gas
.
Gaslit
arches
over
Main
Street
were
erected
for the
celebration
;
slogans
included
"
Women
Split
No
Wood
in
Findlay.
" The
boom
and
promotion
by the
community
brought
numerous
manufacturing
companies
with the
offer
of
free
or
very
cheap
fuel
.
Thousands
came
to
see
the
famous
gas
wells
and the
population
quadrupled
in
less
than
two
years
.
Nine
new
schools
were
built
in
two
years
to
accommodate
all
the
children
of
new
families
.
When
the
gas
played
out
in the
mid-1890s
,
due
largely
to
waste
, the
boom
died
,
many
companies
left
Findlay
and the
population
stagnated
for
several
decades
.
Creator
Zay, Frederick B.
