=== Amoco === In 1956, the Pan-Am stations in the southeastern U.S. were rebranded as Amoco stations. In 1961, Indiana Standard reorganized its marketing giving its American Oil Company unit responsibility for its retail operations nationwide under the Standard name inside the Indiana Standard marketing area (Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming) and under the American name outside that region. Both brands shared the same redesigned torch and oval logo for easy identification nationwide. The Utoco name used in Indiana Standard's southwestern region was replaced by the American name. The Amoco name continued to be used outside the U.S. and as a brand on certain American Oil products. Soon after, the company began to expand. With an exploration office in [[Canada]], Indiana Standard was now an international gas company. Indiana Standard created several new plants and claimed various new oil fields in this time period, as the company prospered in the post-war boom. By 1971, all the divisions of Indiana Standard bore the Amoco name including American Oil which was renamed Amoco Oil with American stations renamed Amoco stations. By 1975, Amoco began phasing in the Amoco name in the old Indiana Standard sales territory. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) was officially renamed Amoco Corporation in 1985.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.answers.com/topic/amoco |title=Amoco |publisher=Answers.com |access-date=2010-06-02}}</ref> Facilities, like the one in Casper, were renamed using the new branding.<ref name=":4" /> [[Phillips Petroleum]]'s assets in the General American Oil Company, acquired in 1983, were later taken over by Amoco. [[Carlin's Amoco Station]] was built at [[Roanoke, Virginia]], around 1947; it was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 2012.<ref name="nps">{{cite web|url=http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/listings/20121130.htm|title=National Register of Historic Places Listings|date=2012-11-30|work=Weekly List of Actions Taken on Properties |publisher=National Park Service}}</ref><ref name=VAnom>{{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Cities/Roanoke/128-6389_Carlins_Amoco_Station_2012_NRHP_FINAL.pdf|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Carlin's Amoco Station|author=Alison S.
