CELEBRATING 100 YEARS

In 1926, our company’s founders laid the groundwork for what Jones & Henry Engineers has become today. Their dreams extended beyond engineering as they sought to make a meaningful impact on the lives of their clients, employees, and the communities they served. That vision continues to guide us and reminds us of the significance of our work.

Over the past century, Jones & Henry has built a legacy that stands on the pillars of dedication, resilience, and community trust. Each of us continues to contribute to that heritage every day.

As we celebrate our 100th anniversary, we honor our past while imagining the exciting road ahead. Together, we will continue to build something special.

Beginnings

It was 1926, the year Hollywood heartthrob Rudolph Valentino and escape artist Harry Houdini died, and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe was born. Hemingway’s first novel, The Sun Also Rises, was published. Chrysler produced the first Imperial, and the United States established its numbered highway system. And Harvey Paul Jones founded the firm that would become Jones & Henry Engineers.

Expansion and Growth

A significant turning point in the company’s history came with the addition of Thomas Henry, Richard Batch, and Harold Stepleton, which marked the beginning of substantial expansion. By 1941, the company had completed more than fifty projects worth an impressive $20 million, establishing a strong reputation in the industry. Thomas Henry became a partner in 1944 and played a crucial role in this growth phase.

A Legacy of Leadership

Jones & Henry Engineers has evolved through the contributions of various presidents, each bringing unique experiences and perspectives that shaped the company’s direction. From its early days in municipal improvement projects to expansion across multiple states and a focus on sustainability, Jones & Henry has consistently prioritized excellence and customer service. Meet the leaders who have significantly influenced our growth during our first 100 years.

A Century of Innovation

Since its founding 100 years ago, Jones & Henry has been part of a remarkable journey in the US water engineering field. The transformation in water management and treatment practices over the decades reflects a growing awareness of public health, environmental issues, and the need for sustainable water resource management. Here is a look back at the key developments in water engineering over the past century.

In Good Company

In the realm of technology and innovation, 1926 saw the invention of the pop-up toaster and the introduction of ‘talking’ films. Perhaps what is most fascinating about 1926 is the number of notable companies that were established during that year, many of which remain industry leaders today. We celebrate not only our legacy but also the remarkable companies that were born in the same era.
