Behm's Propane
The first propane gas range installation in North Dakota was made in Minot by Behm’s Propane in the fall of 1948. From this significant milestone the business grew. In the mid 1970’s, Behm’s propane was serving thousands of homes and many commercial and industrial customers around the state. Behm’s also pioneered the use of propane gas for heating. The first propane gas furnace in the area was installed by Behm’s in Kenmare in 1947. The first propane bulk truck was also placed into service in 1947. The company slogan was “Sunbehm Gas – The All Purpose Fuel.”
