The use of pitch from our La Brea pitch lake dates back some 400 years when Sir Walter Raleigh discovered the Pitch Lake and used the "Pitch" to caulk his ships. His description of the effectiveness of the material to meet his needs then are famous and are still used to describe our pitch today "Most Excellent Goode"
The first documented usage of pitch from La Brea tar pits as a road surfacing material was on the streets of the Capital City of Trinidad and Tobago, Port of Spain in 1815. The very first asphalt pavement was laid in front of the City Hall in Newark, New Jersey in 1870. Between 1871 - 1874 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington was paved with our pitch.
It has been used in countries all over the world.
