Federal Oil and Gas Company
Records show two Federal Oil and Gas companies operating in the early 1900s. A West Virginia exploration and production company had offices in Akron, Ohio.
Although it reported property valuation of only $5,000 in the 1917 annual report to the tax commission of Ohio (Athens County), it was still active in 1919.
The company purchased 80 acres for $180,000 in Wayne County, the westernmost county in the state. No records show petroleum exploration activity. (more…)
