Thirty nine years before Henry Ford produced the first Model T, the United States Stove Company was manufacturing cast iron furnaces and heaters, the result of two companies formed shortly after the civil war, we started producing quality stoves that met the needs of the American people. After more than 140 years, we continue to be the largest manufacturer of wood burning appliances in North America. Incorporated in 1937, USSC can trace our roots back to 1869 and have been in the Middle Tennessee area ever since.
