The South Boston Gas and Light Company is not explicitly mentioned in historical records related to Boston's gas and electric utilities. However, Boston's gas lighting history is well documented, starting with the Boston Gas Light Company's incorporation in 1823, which was the first gas company in Massachusetts. Several other gas companies emerged in the 19th century, including the Boston Consolidated Gas Company, formed in 1905, which eventually became Boston Gas Company. Boston began converting from gas to electric streetlights in the early 1900s, with the final gas streetlights being replaced in residential areas by 1948.
