'''Standard Oil''' was a strong American [[oil]] [[corporation]], founded by the famous magnate [[John D. Rockefeller]] in [[Cleveland]], [[Ohio]].
Ultimately, the [[Supreme Court]] found Standard Oil to be a [[monopoly]], in violation of the [[Sherman Antitrust Act]], and broke it up in 1911. After the breakup, its famous red, white, and blue logo was visible on all [[Amoco]] properties, until Amoco merged with [[Beyond Petroleum|BP]] in 1988.
