Bartlesville is notable as the longtime home of Phillips Petroleum Company. Frank Phillips founded Phillips Petroleum in Bartlesville in 1905 when the area was still an Indian Territory.

Both companies have retained some operations in Bartlesville, but they have moved their corporate headquarters to Houston.
