BP, originally known as the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, was founded in 1909 in the United Kingdom. It was established to exploit oil discovered in Persia (modern-day Iran). Over the years, the company evolved, changing its name to British Petroleum in 1954, and has since grown into one of the world's largest oil and gas companies.
