Who started Exxonmobil?

ExxonMobil was formed through the merger of two major oil companies: Exxon, which was originally part of John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company, and Mobil, which had its roots in the same company.

Mobil was originally known as the Vacuum Oil Company before becoming part of the Mobil Oil Corporation. The merger that created ExxonMobil occurred in 1999.


What was the importance of spindletop?

On January 10, 1901, an enormous geyser of oil exploded from a drilling site at Spindletop Hill, a mound created by an underground salt deposit located near Beaumont in Jefferson County, southeastern Texas. Reaching a height of more than 150 feet and producing close to 100,000 barrels a day, the "gusher" was more powerful than any previously seen in the world. A booming oil industry soon grew up around the oil field at Spindletop, and many of the major oil companies in America, including Gulf Oil, Texaco and Exxon, can trace their origins there.
