Hillside in 1969
While 1969 was a year of firsts, it was also a turning point for Hillside Oil Co., marking the final year of Bill Sellers’ ownership. For nearly 70 years, Hillside has proudly remained a family-owned and operated business, serving New Castle County, DE, Cecil County, MD, and Southern Chester County, PA.
