In 1911, the Supreme Court of the United States held that Standard Oil, which by then still had a 64% market share, originated in illegal monopoly practices and ordered it to be broken up into 34 new companies.  These included, among many others, Continental Oil, which became Conoco; Standard of Indiana, which became Amoco; Standard of California, which became Chevron; Standard of New Jersey, which became Exxon); Standard of New York, which became Mobil; and Standard of Ohio, which became Sohio.  Rockefeller, who had rarely sold shares, owned stock in all of them.
