Lighting by Gas Through History and Milestones
The first incorporated gas company was England's National Light and Heat Company in 1809. In America, Baltimore formed the first gas company in 1816, Boston followed in 1822, and New York Gas Light in 1823. Gas began to spread slowly before 1830 due to price. New York sold gas to consumers around 1824–1828 at about 100 thousand cubic feet. The first artificial illuminating gas appeared in England around 1725, with practical tests by 1789. William Murdock, a pioneer in Birmingham, is credited as a father of modern public utilities. London bridge was gaslit in 1812, with broader London use five years later.
