Natural gas has been known since ancient times, with its earliest recorded use dating back to around 500 BC in China, where it was used to fuel lamps. However, it wasn't until the 19th century that natural gas began to be extracted and used commercially. In the United States, natural gas was first discovered in 1821 in Fredonia, New York. The development of gas lighting in the 1800s significantly increased its usage.
