Your Home Comfort Company Since 1860

Question: What does President James Buchanan have in common with the Fairclough Companies?

Answer: Buchanan was president way back in 1860 when Napoleon Bonaparte Fairclough emigrated from England and founded a coal business in Paterson, New Jersey.

What was going on in the world in 1860? Let’s take a look:

• Abraham Lincoln was elected the 16th president in November 1860, but he did not take office until March 4, 1861.

• South Carolina secedes from the Union.

• The Pony Express begins, connecting Missouri to California.

• Giuseppe Garibaldi's “Redshirts” conquers the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, paving the way for a unified Italy under King Victor Emmanuel II.

• Charles Dickens begins publishing Great Expectations in serial form.

• The first successful aerial photograph in the U.S. is captured from a hot air balloon tethered above Boston.

Today, the Fairclough companies are one of the largest distributors of coal, propane, heating oil, diesel fuel and gasoline from the Hudson to the Delaware.
