The Moffat Stove Company, Limited was established in 1892 in Weston, Toronto, Ontario and manufactured stoves and ranges that have been widely distributed across the continent and even used extensively in Europe and Asia. Moffat Stoves are credited with inventing the first electric ranges for the domestic market. And although the Moffat family sold the business in 1953, stoves and refrigerators continued to be built at the Weston plant until the early 1970s.
