Texaco is the common name of the
Texas Company that was founded in 1902 by
Joseph Cullinan and
Arnold Schaler. It was a rapidly growing company that by 1928 was the only
U.S. oil company to have stations in all 48 states. During the
Great Depression it adopted the name Texaco and its red star logo. It was also the first to have a standard
architecture for all of its stations.
