Greyhound Corporation, a national bus transportation company, grew out of the transportation service operated by Carl Eric Wickman in Hibbing (Minn.) in 1914. Wickman and associates formed the Motor Transit Corporation in 1926, which changed its name to Greyhound Corporation and assumed the image of a running dog as the company symbol in 1929. Greyhound Corporation's corporate offices relocated from Duluth (Minn.) to Chicago (Ill.) in 1930 and from Chicago to Phoenix (Ariz.) in 1971. In 1987, Greyhound Corporation sold its bus operations; Greyhound Lines, Inc. was formed and headquartered in Dallas (Tex.).
