History
- 1929 - Refinery Operations begin
- 1965 - Modernization efforts result in an almost completely rebuilt refinery.
- 2000 - Torrance is the first refinery to install a pollution control device on its fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit, significantly reducing emissions.
- 2005 - Exxon agrees to invest in emissions reductions after Consent Decree with the EPA
- 2015 - Exxon sells the refinery to PBF
