About Coleman
Coleman has powered American outdoor adventures from Wichita, Kansas since 1900, producing the camping stoves, lanterns, and gear that have made Coleman the most recognized name in American outdoor equipment for over a century.
Heritage & History
William Coleman founded the Coleman Company in Wichita, Kansas in 1900, initially renting kerosene lamps to illuminate stores before developing his own arc lamp design that produced brighter light from lower-quality fuel. The Wichita location, at the heart of the American agricultural plains, placed Coleman near the farming and ranching communities that needed reliable, portable light sources before rural electrification reached most of the country.
Coleman's gasoline camp stove, introduced in 1923, became the defining product of American car camping — the two-burner white gasoline stove that allowed families to cook full meals at campsites across the country. The stove's design, using a removable fuel tank that could be pressurized and refueled in the field, was simple enough to maintain and reliable enough to use in conditions that defeated more complex designs.
Made in Wichita, Kansas
Coleman manufactures its core camping stoves, lanterns, and fuel products at Wichita, Kansas facilities that have been in continuous operation for over a century. The two-burner propane stove — the modern successor to the original gasoline model — is assembled in Kansas using a design that has been refined over decades while maintaining the basic mechanical simplicity that makes Coleman stoves easy to use and service in the field.
The Northstar lantern, with its electronic ignition and two-mantle design, represents Coleman's commitment to improving the original kerosene lamp product that started the company. The Wichita production allows Coleman to maintain the quality standards and material specifications that have made the Coleman lantern a reliable light source for American campers and emergency preparedness households.
