History of Chevron

The Chevron Corporation’s beginnings can be traced back to California in 1879, where oil was discovered north of Los Angeles at Pico Canyon. These discoveries initiated the formation of the Pacific Coast Oil Company. This company later became Standard Oil of California and was eventually renamed the Chevron Corporation.

Meanwhile, in Beaumont, Texas the Texas Fuel Company was formed in 1901. Two years later in 1903, the company began producing kerosene on 40 acres of land in Port Arthur, Texas, where the company was ale to produce 318,364 barrels of oil in its first year . The company was eventually renamed The Texas Company, which was eventually shortened to Texaco in 1959. Texaco, which was then called The Texas Company, opened its first filling station in 1911 on a street corner in Brooklyn, New York to sell automobile gasoline. It wasn’t until nearly 100 years later that Texaco and Chevron emerged to become ChevronTexaco. The name was changed again some years ago, and today the company is simple known as The Chevron Corporation.
