1854 CE

Łukasiewicz opens an "oil distillery"—the world's first industrial oil refinery—in Ulaszowice, near Jasło, in 1856.

As demand for kerosene is still low, the plant initially produces mostly artificial asphalt, machine oil, and lubricants.

The refinery will be destroyed in an 1859 fire, but will be rebuilt at Polanka, near Krosno, the following year.
