Historical Note
The Seufert Bros. Company was founded in 1884 in The Dalles, Oregon, by brothers Francis A. and Theodore J. Seufert. The Seuferts had migrated to Oregon from New York in 1882. In 1886, they purchased the Whitcomb Fishery interests near The Dalles, including a small salmon cannery, to which they added a fish house and ice house. From these beginnings, they developed a business that dominated the fish canning and packing business on the Columbia River for many years. The construction of The Dalles Dam terminated the company's operations in 1954. The company also developed a successful fruit and vegetable canning operation.
