History
The history of Kirby can be traced back to 1921 when John Henry Kirby, a pioneer in the development of the Houston business community, formed Kirby Petroleum Company, an independent oil and gas exploration and development company.
Kirby’s stock first publicly traded in 1956 following a merger with Kirby VenSyn Petroleum Co.
Kirby entered the marine transportation business in 1969 with the acquisition of Dixie Carriers, Inc.
Dixie Carriers, along with a number of oil and gas interests and other assets, became part of Kirby Exploration Company which began publicly trading in 1976 under the ticker “KEX”.
In 1987, the Board of Directors adopted a strategy to focus on the core marine transportation and diesel engine services businesses, following through the next year with the sale of the oil and gas assets.
The name of the company was changed to Kirby Corporation in 1990.
