Texaco (“The Texas Company”) is the name of an American oil retail brand. Its flagship product is its fuel, “Texaco with Techron”. It also owns the Havoline motor oil brand. Texaco was an independent company until it merged into Chevron Corporation in 2001.

 

It began as the Texas Fuel Company, founded in 1901 in Beaumont, Texas, by Joseph S. Cullinan, Thomas J. Donoghue, Walter Benona Sharp, and Arnold Schlaet upon discovery of oil at Spindletop. For many years, Texaco was the only company selling gasoline under the same brand name in all 50 states as well as Canada, making it the most truly national brand among its competitors. Its current logo features a white star in a red circle (a reference to the lone star of Texas), leading to the long-running advertising jingles “You can trust your car to the man who wears the star” and “Star of the American Road.”[citation needed] The company was headquartered in Harrison, New York, near White Plains, prior to the merger.
