How To Reach Digboi Oil Refinery Town
Digboi, Assam, India
Sub Place Details: Digboi Oil Refinery Town is a unique urban settlement that revolves around the world's oldest functioning oil refinery, commissioned in 1901. The town is a fascinating mix of industrial infrastructure and colonial-era charm, characterized by its distinctive architecture and well-p lanned layouts. Walking through the town, one can see the massive distillation towers and storage tanks that have been part of the landscape for over a century. The town was developed by the Assam Oil Company and later managed by Indian Oil, ensuring a high standard of maintenance and amenities for its residents. One of the most striking features of the town is the presence of "Bungalows on Stilts," a traditional architectural style designed to protect homes from the frequent rains and damp terrain of Upper Assam. The refinery area itself is a restricted zone, but the surrounding town offers plenty of sights, including heritage clubs, old churches, and the famous Digboi Golf Course. The streets are lined with tall trees and flowering shrubs, giving the industrial town a surprisingly green and refreshing appearance. It is a place where history is lived every day, as the refinery continues to produce petroleum products even today. The local markets are vibrant, offering traditional Assamese handlooms and local tea. The town's identity is deeply tied to the phrase "Dig, boy, dig," which is said to have been shouted by British engineers to their laborers during the first oil discovery. Visiting this town is like stepping back in time to the early days of the global oil boom, but with the modern comforts of a well-managed industrial hub.
