Suburban Propane's story begins in 1928, when Mark and Adele Anton left Newark, N.J., to build a home in nearby West Orange. During construction, Mrs. Anton found there were no gas lines near her new house in the country, and she preferred cooking with gas over kerosene or electric. Mark Anton noticed an advertisement by a company named Rock Gas, which sold propane and home installation equipment, and placed the order that made Mrs. Anton Suburban's first satisfied customer. In 1945 the Suburban Propane Gas Corporation was formed, with Mark Anton as president; it purchased Phillips' 13 eastern propane properties and all the assets of the Suburban Gas Company. In 1971, with the purchase of Vangas, Inc., a large California-based propane marketer, Suburban Propane completed its expansion to the Pacific. Maryland-based Pargas and Texgas Corporation of Texas were acquired in 1985 and 1986. The company has been a Master Limited Partnership since 1996.

A value-oriented company managed for long-term, consistent performance, emphasizing value, quality and customer satisfaction.
