John D. Rockefeller’s massively successful Standard Oil conglomerate was divided up into 34 unrelated companies in 1911, one of these being the Jersey Standard company. Jersey Standard then went on to become the Exxon Corporation in 1972. Since then, Exxon has funded various health and research facilities, as well as the Save the Tiger fund.
Mobil was founded in 1866 as the Vacuum Oil Company, but merged with Socony in 1931. Both of these brands were created from the Standard Oil deconstruction in 1911, but went on to change the company name to Mobil in 1966. Mobil premiered the electronic payment system known as Speedpass in 1997, then merged with Exxon in 1999 to form ExxonMobil.
