History

Established in 1864.

The company now known as Dow & Coulombe, Inc. is a direct successor to a surveying and engineering office started by W.S. Dennett, an Army Corps Engineer returning home from Civil War duty in 1864. Much of the early work performed by Mr. Dennett was for the Saco Water Power Company, who owned and managed the resources of the Saco River during the industrial expansion that followed the Civil War in the cities of Biddeford and Saco. Additionally, Mr. Dennett designed and oversaw construction of most of the public works facilities including sewer, drains, roads and bridges in Saco and surrounding communities. During the last half of the 19^th Century, when coastal areas became popular summer vacation destinations, Mr. Dennett designed and staked out many of the coastal subdivision from York Beach to Scarborough. The company continued to provide land surveying services and was passed to various owners over the years, incorporating as Dow & Coulombe, Inc. during the 1960’s.
