Yes, the Sherman anti-trust act of 1890 prohibited monopolies. This was a reaction to a contemporary controversy about the Standard Oil Company of Ohio maneuvering around state laws in order to form its own trust. This act put an end to companies being able to maneuver around laws like that. While other laws prohibited the means of achieving a monopoly, this act prohibited having a monopoly.
