14 Facts About Esso

Esso adopted the name "Esso", to which the other Standard Oil companies would later object.

In 1972, the name Esso was largely replaced in the U S by the Exxon brand after the Standard Oil of New Jersey bought Humble Oil, while the Esso name remained widely used elsewhere.

The name Esso is the phonetic pronunciation of the initials 'S' and 'O' in the name Standard Oil.

Esso ranked 31st among American corporations in the value of World War II production contracts.

The Esso name did return to minor station signage at both Exxon and Mobil stations, which had the effect of ExxonMobil de facto claiming the Standard trademark in Colorado, Kentucky, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Wyoming as Chevron withdrew from Kentucky in 2010 and BP gradually withdrew sales from the other states.
