When five San Diegans met in 1881 to incorporate the San Diego Gas Company, they formed an enterprise that would serve a city whose population had just passed 3,000. They asked that the city trustees authorize the purchase of 25 street lampposts, the first to be maintained for public use. More than 120 years later, its nearly 99,000 streetlights serve one of the largest cities in the country.
