Propane Sales & Service
In 1938, Garberville Gas Company was founded when the Knapp Family installed an underground propane pipeline to provide gas to their restaurant. Over the years, other downtown businesses also looking to save on their gas bills contracted with Mr. Knapp to connect to this underground pipeline and formed what is today the oldest private utility in the state of California. In 1947, a stock broker and friend of the Knapp Family, Paul Stewart, purchased the business and the name was changed to Blue Star Gas. As the city of Garberville grew, so did the underground utility, which became the foundation on which Blue Star Gas was built. Today, as we celebrate our 75th year in business, we are owned and managed by the third generation of the Stewart family.
From these humble beginnings, we have grown to cover a service area of over 60,000 square miles and currently serve 12 unique markets in Northern California, Oregon and Washington. Our tried-and-true focus is to provide the best in customer service, communication, and responsiveness. For Blue Star Gas and our customers, the best is yet to come.
