In 1853, his family moved to a farm in Strongsville, Ohio near Cleveland. He pursued a public education, but left high school to take business training. In that same year, oil was discovered in not-too-distant Titusville, Pennsylvanian, touching off the growth of a new industry driven largely by the demand for kerosene for lighting. Rockefeller was immediately attracted to the oil business, but was repelled by the disorder of the wildcatters.
