Road Name History:
Lee Eldas and Frank Phillips founded the Anchor Oil and Gas Company in 1904 with the assistance of John Gibson, Frank's father-in-law. . They obtained leases near Bartlesville in the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory (present Washington County, Oklahoma), and opened a Bartlesville office in 1905. By 1917, Phillips Petroleum was incorporated, and the first Phillips station was opened in Wichita, Kan., in 1927. An important lawsuit that made its way to the Supreme court occurred in 1921 involving Anchor Oil, "Anchor Oil Co. v. Gray, 256 U.S. 519". The company’s research into the uses of natural gas received further impetus in 1926, when it won a patent infringement suit brought against it by Union Carbide over Phillips’s process for separating hydrocarbon compounds.

In 1930, Anchor Oil Co. began looking for a new name and logo – something that would include the Phillips name while reflecting a stronger connection with the automobile. They chose "Pillips 66"
