Edward Doheny dug the first oil well in Los Angeles in 1892.

The Wilmington Oil Field is the third largest oil field in the United States, behind Prudhoe Bay and the East Texas oil fields. By 2002, about 87 percent of its oil had been recovered, leaving less than an estimated 385 million barrels in reserve.
