    | About This Company |  |  |  |  |  The American Tobacco Company was founded in 1890 by J. B. 
    Duke as a merger between a number of tobacco manufacturers including Allen 
    and Ginter. Akin to the domination of Standard Oil in the same era, the 
    American Tobacco Company dominated the industry by acquiring the Lucky 
    Strike Company and over 200 other rival firms. The company built processing 
    plants and warehouses in Durham, North Carolina. Antitrust action begun in 
    1907 against the American Tobacco Company broke the company in 1911 into 
    several major companies: American Tobacco Company, R. J. Reynolds, Liggett & 
    Meyers Tobacco Company, Lorillard, and British American Tobacco. American 
    Tobacco left Durham in 1987. A section of the East Coast Greenway, known as the 
    American Tobacco Trail, runs along a railroad bed abandoned by the American 
    Tobacco Company in the 1980s. Source: www.wikipedia.org |
