Celebrating 135 Years
In celebration of Davey Tree's founding as North America's first tree care company,
the Kent Historical Society Museum in Kent, Ohio, ran an exhibit titled, "Davey and
Kent: Growing Together since 1880," from April to December 2015. The exhibit
focused on Davey Tree's history as arboriculture pioneers, our transition to employee
ownership in 1979 and the construction of our corporate headquarters in 1985.
Items on display include a letter to our founder, John Davey, from Buckingham
Palace; 90-year-old company group photographs; antique tree care equipment and
training videos from the mid-20th century. Davey Tree partnered with the Kent
Historical Society Museum to provide many of the historic materials from our Davey
Tree historical archives at the Davey Institute. We are honored to be a longstanding
member of the Kent, Ohio, community and look forward to the next century of
Davey Tree's and the city's success.
" The Kent Historical Society does a wonderful job telling the stories of the people and
businesses that shaped Kent, and we're excited to partner with them to tell the story
of Davey Tree."
