Enbridge: Our history

Did you know that a key Enbridge pipeline helped the Allies win the Second World War?

That Enbridge’s first oil pipeline heralded the birth of Canadian energy exports?

That an Enbridge company was originally created by John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil? Or that Enbridge’s roots date back to the start of the California gold rush, and the end of the Mexican-American War?

Officially, Enbridge was incorporated in 1949 by the Canadian federal government.

But our businesses, our infrastructure and our legacy asset ownership are all intertwined with the evolution of North America’s energy industry—stretching back more than 175 years.
