John Davison Rockefeller was born to a wealthy New Yorker conman and a devoutly baptist mother in the summer of 1839.  His first venture into business was as a bookkeeper at age 16, but this would not be how he came to be the richest man in America. That would be in 1867 when him, his brother, and another business partner established Rockefeller, Andrews and Flagler, the largest oil refinery in the world at the time and the predecessor to his legacy, Standard Oil Inc. For the next few years, he would continue to buy out other refinery companies and began to build himself and his associates a monopoly. Standard Oil was officially established in 1870 in Cleveland, Ohio. Rockefeller immediately began to expand his Oil Empire even further, buying up more oil companies at much the same pace he bought out those in Ohio, until he eventually controlled 90% of the oil in the United States.]]> 2017-11-02 19:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/rr4hhku6iz3h/wish/203099900 385680 https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/rr4hhku6iz3h/wish/203457302
