In 1925, Standard Oil of Indiana acquired the American Oil Company, founded in Baltimore in 1910 and incorporated in 1922, by Louis Blaustein and his son Jacob. The combined corporation operated or licensed gas stations under both the Standard and American or Amoco names (the latter derived from the American Oil Company). Its logo, featuring a red, white, and blue oval with a torch in the center, was used under these names. By the mid-20th century, the company had become the largest oil company in the United States. In 1985, it officially adopted the name Amoco. Later, in December 1998, Amoco merged with British Petroleum to form BP Amoco, which was subsequently renamed BP in 2001.

Amoco, a brand of fuel stations operating in the United States, has been owned by the British conglomerate BP since 1998. The Amoco Corporation, founded in 1889 by Standard Oil Company around a refinery in Whiting, Indiana, initially focused on producing gasoline for the emerging automobile market. Initially part of the Standard Oil Company trust, it became an independent corporation in 1911 as part of the breakup of the Standard Oil trust. Incorporated in Indiana, the company was headquartered in Chicago and formally adopted the name Amoco in 1985. In 1998, the Amoco Corporation merged with BP to form BP Amoco. However, the Amoco name was revived in 2017 as a brand that service station owners could choose to use when purchasing supplies from BP in specific regions of the United States.
