History
Murrysville was originally settled as Franklin Township in 1788 and underwent several name and structural changes before adopting a home rule charter in 1976, becoming the Municipality of Murrysville.
The area is historically significant for its early role in the development of the natural gas industry in the United States. In 1878, brothers Michael and Obediah Haymaker drilled what became one of the nation’s first commercial natural gas wells in Murrysville. The well produced vast quantities of natural gas and helped spur the formation of early gas companies, including operations that later contributed to the development of what became Sunoco and other regional utilities.
