Rio Grande Fuel Co. founded in Denver, Colorado in 1893 by Erik Peterson established its roots by supplying coal, hay and feed to Elmer's West side neighbors. On November 5, 1908 twenty-year old Elmer Peterson purchased the business becoming the sole proprietor of the Rio Grande Fuel and Feed Company, and the modern company formed. In 1946 Elmer's son Don joined the business becoming company President in 1958.
