Oil City at it's peak had a store, a cannery, a few buildings, and a cookhouse. A road was built from Highway 101 in 1931-32. It is reported some wells got up to 20 barrels a day, and some estimates were that if dug deep enough, some wells could gather 1,000 barrels a day. Eventually drilling stopped and by the mid to lates 1930's, mostly everyone had left. During World War II, The Coast Guard had a base set up using some of the old remaining buildings from Oil City, where they conducted patrols watching for enemy planes of landings.
