The first gas station
On December 1st 1913 Gulf Refining Company opened the world’s first drive-in gas station right on this corner. Until then, drivers got their gas at general stores, hardware shops, even soon-to-be-obsolete blacksmiths.
The station offered free air, water, crankcase service, and tire and tube installation.
On its first day, the station sold 30 gallons of gasoline at 27 cents per gallon. On its first Saturday, Gulf’s new service station pumped 350 gallons of gasoline.
