History

[edit]

Laclede Gas Company was one of the original 12 industrial companies that made up the Dow Jones Industrial Average but was removed in 1899.[5] On December 7, 2009, executives from The Laclede Group visited the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to ring the closing bell and commemorate the company's 120th anniversary of trading on the exchange. The Company first listed its stock on November 14, 1889[citation needed], making it the 8th-oldest listed stock on the NYSE.

On February 1, 2012, Laclede hired its first female CEO, Suzanne Sitherwood.[6]

In 2013, The Laclede Group acquired Missouri Gas Energy from Southern Union Company,[7] expanding their Missouri holdings to include Kansas City.

In 2014 Laclede acquired Alabama Gas Corporation (Alagasco),[8] which serves the Greater Birmingham, East Lauderdale County, Gadsden, Jasper, Anniston-Oxford, Greater Tuscaloosa, Greater Montgomery, Opelika-Auburn, Tuskegee, Selma, and many Black Belt communities as Spire Alabama Inc.

On April 28, 2016, The Laclede Group shareholders approved renaming the company to Spire.[9] Later in 2016, Spire acquired Energy South, Inc from Sempra U.S. Gas & Power, the parent company of Mobile Gas and Willmut Gas.[10] Mobile Gas operates in Mobile, Alabama as Spire Gulf Coast Inc. while Willmut gas operates in Hattiesburg, Mississippi as Spire Mississippi Inc..
