John D. Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil Company in 1870. He retired in 1897 and his son, John D. Rockefeller Jr, took over the company for his father. They worked to further their business endeavors through Standard Oil alone (though Junior piloted many endeavors with the Chase's).
Ida Tarbell reported on the corrupt business practices at Standard Oil.
John D Rockefeller is primarily known for running the Standard Oil company. He grew the business through horizontal integration, where Standard Oil eventually controlled nearly all of oil refining and marketing in the country.
John D. Rockefeller is important because by the early 1880s standard oil controlled about 90% of an oil business , which he discovered. Rockefeller saw a great opportunity to start this business. In Cleveland, Ohio, he built his 1st oil refinery.
