The history of the Hartford Electric Light Company (HELCO) begins with the Hartford Steam Company. The steam company built the originally brick building in 1880 (See 'The Hartford Electric Light Company, Pearl Street plant, circa 1902'). The building had about a dozen boilers for producing heat and steam for their customers.〔 〕 The steam company introduced a new technology in 1881, an electric generator. It was Hartford's first electric service.〔 The Hartford Electric Light Company (HELCO) in 1881 received its charter as an official company and took over the electrical part of Hartford Steam Company. At that time Hartford had about a thousand gaslights in 80 miles of the city streets.〔 〕 It began actual operations of the steam-powered electrical generating plant on Pearl Street in 1882.〔 Austin Cornelius Dunham was the company's first president.〔 〕 The first major project the company did was electrical lighting to the Asylum Street railroad station in 1883. HELCO ultimately made Hartford the first city in America with an all-electric street lighting system.〔 〕
