Magnolia Petroleum Company - Gas and Oil Company History

The Magnolia Petroleum Company was an early twentieth century petroleum company in Texas and was founded on April 24, 1911 as a consolidation of several earlier companies. Standard Oil of New York (Socony) exchanged its stock for all of the Magnolia stock in December 1925 though it continued to operate as an affiliate of Socony. Later in 1959 Magnolia was fully incorporated into the Mobil division of Socony. Magnolia's Pegasus logo, clad in red, has been the emblem of Mobil since the 1930s.

Magnolia gasoline and oils were made and sold in Texas and other southern states before World War I and 1911 the Magnolia Petroleum Company was formed in a consolidation of several earlier Texas oil companies begun from 1898 to 1909. As a result Magnolia's business grew in Texas and the Southwest, the Standard Oil Company of New York (SOCONY) began buying Magnolia stock.As a result in 1925 Socony controlled all the Magnolia stock. When Socony merged with Vacuum Oil in 1931 as a result Magnolia became an affiliate of the new company. As a result By 1949, Dallas-based Magnolia had permits to do business in twenty states, and had 12,500 employees. In conclusion Magnolia merged with Socony Mobil in 1959 and its operations became part of Mobil Oil Company.
