Chesapeake Utilities Corporation enjoys a long and prosperous history. The Dover Gas Light Company, formed in 1859, would eventually become Chesapeake Utilities Corporation, even though the Company wasn’t officially incorporated in the State of Delaware until 88 years later in 1947. The very next year, the Company acquired two smaller gas companies, one in Seaford, Delaware, and the other in nearby Salisbury, Maryland, and the Company hasn’t stopped growing ever since.

Today, the Company consists of four primary business segments: Natural gas distribution, transmission and marketing; propane distribution and wholesale marketing; advanced information systems; and other services.

In total, Chesapeake employs approximately 437 people, and subscribes to the philosophy that the business is a partnership between our customers, our employees, the communities we serve, our investors and our business partners.
