George Kirby, Jr. Paint Company was founded in 1846 as Humphrey, Kirby & Co. in New Bedford, Massachusetts.  A short time later it was taken over by George Kirby Jr. and the George Kirby Jr. Paint Company was formed and incorporated in 1909.  The same paint formulas have been handed down from generation to generation.  They are time-tested and proven to be durable and lasting.

The George Kirby Jr. Paint Co. has had the pleasure of being featured in many newspaper and magazine articles throughout it's 150-year history.  Please enjoy the following article about the company, "Traditional Marine Paint from George Kirby Jr. Paint Co.": WoodenBoat Magazine, issue #150, 1999.
