Current logo in color.
Crown Central Petroleum Company or Crown, first began in 1917 in Harris County, Texas when the New Crown Oil and Refining Company's Number 3 well struck oil.
Endangerment
During the summer of 2006, many stations began to disappear. All but about 20 stations were rebranded to either Texaco, Chevron Corporation, or Royal Dutch Shell gas stations. This is because the company sold these stations about two years ago, as reported in the Baltimore Sun.
