Historical plaque inscription: California's first oil refinery operated on a commercial scale, erected 1876. Restored by the Standard Oil Company of California in 1930 as a memorial to D. G. Scofield and his pioneer associates of the California Star Oil Works company, a predecessor of the Standard Oil Company of California. In 1875-1876 Mr. Scofield and his associates obtained California's first commercial production of crude petroleum in Pico Canyon six miles northwest of this point and built this refinery for the manufacture of petroleum products. Note: The refinery is surrounded by a fence and can be viewed from a distance, if the access road is open. Construction of a modern industrial park began in 2021, which will include improvements to this historic site. The historical plaque was installed in 1930. In 1984, Standard Oil of California changed its name to Chevron. This is California Historical Landmark No. 172, designated in 1935; Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark No. 8, designated in 1975; and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
