later on john d. rockefeller was asked, who had come up with the idea and rockefeller said come well, i wish i had the brains to think of it but it was henry flagler's idea. so he was the key person in standard oil although he's not given much credit in the general histories. by the 1880s, standard oil was complete, it was a finished work. it was perhaps the largest corporation in the world. it dominated the oil industry and to think henry flagler was looking for a new challenge. it was a man who always wanted to undertake some great enterprise. and as it turned out florida was it. he had invested in florida in the early 1880s because another of his neighbors on fifth avenue in new york was henry b. plant a railroad builder in the south, who was building a railroad line down to tampa on the west coast of florida. and flagler invested some money in plans enterprises. later on when both flagler and plant were very active in florida, they essentially divided the state rather than compete with each other.
