# McColl-Frontenac Oil Company

McColl-Frontenac Oil Company Limited was a Canadian integrated oil company. It was created in 1927 as a result of a merger between two companies, McColl Brothers, founded by John McColl in 1873, and Frontenac Oil Refineries. Shares in the new company were acquired by the Texas Company (Texaco) and by 1941 it had acquired a majority ownership position of McColl-Frontenac. On 2 February 1959 the company was renamed Texaco Canada Limited, which on 1 June 1978 became Texaco Canada Incorporated. McColl-Frontenac was known for its branding of its oil and products as "Red Indian." In 1989, Texaco Canada was acquired by Ultramar. Non retail operations continued as Texaco Canada Petroleum Incorporated until 1995.

After Ultramar acquired Texaco Canada Inc in 1989, it renamed the company McColl-Frontenac Inc. This company remains registered.
