About Us: History

It’s easy to why Peninsula Oil and Propane knows our neighbors and our neighbors know us. We’ve been serving Delmarva communities for over 75 years, getting to know the people, and cultivating a solid reputation built on service, reliability, and trust. Founded in 1935 by John Emory Willey, Peninsula Oil has been handed down from generation to generation and is headed today by John Willey II.

Things were quite a bit different when we started in 1935. We had one truck, holding 650 gallons of oil, and one storage tank holding 25,000 gallons. In the early days of the business, customers would call to request their 50 gallon “coal oil” delivery whenever their supply got low. Today our trucks have a 3,000 gallon capacity, and our storage facility holds over ¾ of a million gallons! And, with automatic delivery, customers no longer have to call.

A lot has changed over the years. We offer more products, more services, and more conveniences than ever before. But one thing hasn’t changed: Peninsula Oil and Propane continues its longstanding commitment to complete customer satisfaction and community involvement.

After 75 years, your family can still count on our family!
