The first places that sold gasoline were pharmacies, as a side business. In fact, the first petrol station could be said to be the city pharmacy in Wiesloch, Germany where Bertha Benz refilled the tank of the first automobile on its maiden voyage from Mannheim to Pforzheim.

The world's first purpose built gas station was constructed in St. Louis, Missouri in 1905 at 412 St Theresa Avenue. As to your question, that date could be for a local petrol station.
