Standard Oil was created in 1870, and by the early 1900s, the company was controlling almost all oil production, processing, marketing and transportation in the United States. In 1904 it controlled 91% of oil production, and 85% of final sales in The Standard Oil Company of Ohio was the original company that Rockefeller established in 1862. In 1911, following the Supreme Court ruling, Standard Oil was broken into seven successor companies; Standard Oil of New Jersey, Standard Oil of New York, Standard Oil of California, Standard Oil of Indiana, Standard Oil of Kentucky, The Standard Oil Company (Ohio), and The Ohio Oil Company. In 1911 the Supreme Court found Standard Oil in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and forced it to be broken up into 34 smaller “Standard Oil” companies—the largest being Standard Oil of New York Standard Oil of New Jersey, and Standard Oil of Ohio.
