Lion Oil Company was established in 1922. Thomas Harry (Colonel) Barton [http://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=1586] was instrumental in the development of the company.

In 1955, Lion Oil was sold to Monsanto Chemical Company along with what is now El Dorado Chemical Company. Lion Oil is the only oil refinery which Monsanto has owned. Lion Oil was later sold by Monsanto to Tosco.

In 1985, Lion was struggling and on the verge of shutting down and was sold by Tosco to a partnership of Ergon Refining of Jackson, Mississippi, and a group of local investors.

Lion Oil continues as a petroleum supplier with its headquarters located in El Dorado, Arkansas.
