Gold mining and oil refining and storage may be included among Aruba's past industries. Gold was discovered in 1800. Mining was profitable until 1916. Oil refining and storage boomed from 1929 until 1985 because of Aruba's proximity to Venezuela. The industry went through a slump but revived again in 1991. Oil refining and storage continue to be key contributors to Aruba's economy.
