@nanlisa Not in Canada.

Of course, Esson became Exxon in 1970.

@MrUnidyne Not quite Esso was Standard Oil of NJ, Mobil was Standard Oil of New York (SOCONY). Both were former Standard Oil companies. ENCO part of ESSO could not use the ESSO name due another former rights held by Standard Oil of Indiana (Amoco/Standard) also a former Standard Oil company. Don't forget Standard Oil of California (Chevron)

I'll be totally honest, I had to research it again to find the names John and William Rockefeller. I don't know why I couldn't remember that from before, especially when they were among the wealthiest men in history.

My memory's good, it's just really short sometimes.

Cheers.

I am familiar with seeing Imperial Oil in Canada.

Pop quiz--Who are the founders of Standard Oil?
