About Petrolia
Petrolia got its start during Butler County’s 1870s oil boom, quickly building up along the banks of Bear Creek. Today, it has settled into a quiet, close-knit borough tucked into the wooded hills of Western Pennsylvania. Life here moves at a relaxed, rural pace, with Bear Creek winding right past local homes and quiet neighborhood roads. Local kids attend the nearby Karns City Area schools, and residents enjoy a peaceful, small-town setting where housing is affordable and the community's industrial heritage is still proudly remembered.
