Wilson Company History

The Wilson family first established a mercantile trade company in the Colchester area during the early 1800s. Descendants established the Wilson Construction Company and built many of the large historic brick buildings that grace downtown Truro. Following the Halifax Explosion, Wilsons was involved in the reconstruction of Dartmouth. 

In 1909, Wilsons started a coal company to supply fuel to the buildings they built as well as others. As the business focus changed from construction to fuel, the present name of Wilson Fuel Co Ltd was adopted. Wilsons was the only Nova Scotia coal company to make the transition from coal to oil while remaining independent of multinational oil companies. 

After dropping coal and adding propane and heating equipment, Wilsons is now established as a leading independent fuel oil supplier in Nova Scotia. It has offices in Truro, Halifax and Bridgewater. 

Wilsons' retail gasoline network is now established in all four provinces of Atlantic Canada. It has a reputation of delivering competitive pricing to the motoring public. 

The Wilson Fuel Co Ltd has been recognized as one of “Canada’s Fifty Best Managed Companies”
