From Maui Now:

Hawaiʻi Gas, the state’s only regulated gas utility, will mark its 120th anniversary on Aug. 1, 2024, commemorating 12 decades of dedicated service to the people and businesses of Hawai‘i. 

The company was founded in 1904 as the Honolulu Gas Company, Ltd. by kamaʻāina businessman William W. Dimond. It began delivering gas in 1905 from a production plant in Iwilei that was one of the first of its kind in the world.

‘The plant’s initial transmission of gas was distributed through pipelines servicing downtown Honolulu and homes in Nu’uanu, followed by neighborhoods in Mānoa, Kalihi Valley, Kaimuki, and Waikiki — which had just two hotels at the time.

Over the decades, the company continued to grow as communities on Oʻahu and neighbor islands expanded. Now known as Hawai‘i Gas, the company provides safe, reliable energy to 70,000 residential and commercial customers across all major Hawaiian islands.
