| History |
United States Steel Corporation was founded in 1901 when financier J.P. Morgan and attorney Elbert H. Gary combined Carnegie Steel Company with Garys Federal Steel Company and William Henry Moores National Steel Company to form the worlds first billion-dollar corporation. In 1902 the company produced 67 per cent of all the steel made in America. The U.S. government tried unsuccessfully to force the break-up of the corporation as a monopoly. Although U.S. Steel is active, making steel in the U.S. and abroad, its market share today is less than 10 per cent. |
