History and Expansion

The company's history begins on October 4, 1982, in a farm shop in Emhouse, Texas, with the founding of Nelson-Putman Propane Gas, Inc. by Wayne and Judy Nelson, Billy Nelson, and Ralph Putman. The company grew with the opening of an office in Ennis and in August 1991 acquired Suburban Propane Gas in Cedar Creek, Texas. In 2006, the fourth generation of the family joined, and in 2008, the acquisitions of Henry Oil and Gas (Ennis) and Mr. J's Propane (Athens) were added. In 2011, the company adopted its current name, Nelson Propane Gas, Inc.

Expansion continued with the purchase of Poole Gas (Malakoff) in July 2014, Casey Propane (Fairfield) in 2015, Gregg LP Gas (Palestine) and Lyle Propane (Fairfield) that same year, Sandyland Propane (Grapeland) in February 2018, and Strube Propane in June 2019, which brought offices in Pittsburg, Gladewater, and Longview. That same year, Gillert Gas (Athens) was added. The company states that, after the acquisition of Lyle Propane, it became the only propane delivery company in Freestone County.
