Oil Springs Reservation
Oil Springs Reservation, Native American reservation in Allegany County, United States
The Oil Springs Reservation extends across one square mile of land in southwestern New York, bordering the towns of Cuba and Ischua.
French Jesuit missionaries documented in the 17th century how indigenous peoples utilized petroleum-infused water from local springs for medicinal treatments.
The Seneca Nation maintains sovereignty over this territory, which contains natural oil springs historically used by their ancestors for traditional healing practices.
According to the 2010 census data, the reservation recorded only one resident within its boundaries, making it one of the least populated territories.
The reservation contains natural petroleum seeps that emerge from underground, creating springs where oil naturally mixes with water at the surface.
