On a barren piece of land in Harris County, Texas, just outside of Houston, a discouraged but still determined drilling crew struck “black gold” in 1917. Weeks after paychecks from the new Crown Oil and Refining Company had run dry, ‘Well Number 3’ finally spouted oil. What flowed from the well was more than just crude oil; it was the foundation of what became Crown Central Petroleum Corporation and has evolved into Crown Central LLC. The revenue generated by ‘Well 3’ enabled the young company to construct its own refinery. One of the very first refineries built on the Houston Ship Channel, the plant opened in 1920 with lube oil as its only product. But the range of products would begin to grow with the manufacturing of gasoline in 1925, the same year the Company was incorporated as Crown Central Petroleum Corporation.
