History |
|
Lewis
C. Nelson and Sons, Inc.
is the largest and oldest
family owned and operated
construction business in
the San Joaquin Valley.
It was founded in 1928 as
a family construction and
remodeling business by Lewis
C. Nelson, a carpenter and
farmer whose ancestors immigrated
from Denmark. |
|
Lewis C. Nelson (1894-1990), born in Albert Lea, Minnesota, moved to Selma, California in the early 1900’s. In 1928, after years of carpentry work and tending to his fruit ranch, he was able to open his own carpentry business in which he turned large homes into apartments for income investments. |
|
Being
a firm believer in serving
your country, Lewis C. Nelson
supported his four sons
as they left home to serve
in WWII. It was at the close
of the war that Lewis C.
Nelson turned his company
over to his two oldest sons,
Lewis R. Nelson (1916-1985)
and Dwight L. Nelson (1918-2006)
and it became LEWIS C. NELSON
AND SONS (LCN). In 1966,
LCN was acquired by Dwight
G. Nelson (President), one
of Dwight L. Nelson’s
four sons. |
|
Over
the years, four generations
of Nelsons have provided
the leadership necessary
for the many successful
projects completed from
Sacramento to the Grapevine
and from the Sierras to
the Pacific Ocean. Public
works, federal, military,
design/build and commercial
projects all bear witness
to the unparalleled leadership,
commitment and excellence
of Lewis C. Nelson and
Sons, Inc. |
