On Tuesday, January 1 we rang in the new year and celebrated the first day of 2013.January 1 was also an important day for Cabot – the company officially turned 125 years old. In 1888, Godfrey Lowell Cabot bought his brother’s businesses from them and became the sole proprietor of what would eventually become Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation. The company has a proud history starting with drilling its first well in western Pennsylvania in 1891 and continued its successes for decades until present day.Some quick facts:

  • The community of Cabot, Pennsylvania is named after our founder, Godfrey Lowell Cabot, who established the Cabot Academy in the town.
  • Cabot first expanded south into Texas in 1925 under the leadership of Tom Cabot.
  • In 1991, Cabot became a 100% publicly owned company.
