The Berg Companies
comprise some of the oldest, continuously operating businesses in the state of Washington. The company, F.O. Berg was founded by Fredrick Oliver Berg in 1883. Back then the F.O. Berg Company produced high quality products, such as tents and awnings, using industrial fabrics.
After the big Spokane fire of 1889, the F.O. Berg Company was credited with building the 'Tent City' that housed businesses and residences during the rebuilding process. The company has relocated many times over the years as the business continued to evolve and develop new products.
