About Titusville

In 1859, oil was first discovered in Titusville, sparking the birth of the modern oil industry in Pennsylvania. However, the area was first settled in 1796 along what is now Oil Creek. In 1891, the oil industry peaked and Titusville has experienced a population decline in the following years, although Charter Plastics Company still operates factories in town and is the area’s largest employer. The Crawford County town is now home to about 6,000 residents, located 104 miles north of Pittsburgh. Residents of an apartment or home rental in Titusville either work locally or commute to surrounding cities. A few will make the daily trip up to Erie, an hour north. The now defunct Oil Creek & Titusville Railroad once served the prosperous Titusville population. Nevertheless, residents of a Titusville house or apartment for rent still have access to rail service that passes through town in the north-south direction and offers trains to both Pittsburgh and Erie. Oil Creek State Park, which surrounds the community on the south and east sides, provides an interesting place for exploration, with its many trails, paths, and campgrounds. Cross Creek Resort Golf Course caters to Titusville’s upper class residents and offers exceptional golfing as well as cuisine from around the world.
