The history of drilling for oil in southwestern Mecca Township, beginning in the 1860s, was recorded in an article in a postal history magazine in 2000. The article was illustrated by maps of the area, by an envelope mailed from the Oil Diggins post office in May 1866, and by a photograph of the "Diggins" restaurant in West Mecca, stated to be "the only building standing as a reminder of the town of Oil Diggins".[5]
