In 1884 the Pumpherston Oil Works was built to extract and product shale oil and the village developed adjacent to the works to house employed staff and their families. The main refinery closed in 1964 but the detergent plant continued to operate until the 1990s. Most of the former workings have been removed and the area has now been redeveloped as a golf course.
