The History of Cobb Electric

Learn more about our company

Our family-owned and operated company began in 1946 in Longview, TX as Cobb's Southwest Electric. Frank Cobb started the company. It initially operated as a union shop, building a strong reputation with customers and the community. We have earned many repeat customers, who have been happy with our electrical services.

A family-run, local electric company

In 1967, Frank's son, Charles, joined the company and eventually took over the business. After several decades as a union shop, Charles Cobb re-opened Cobb Electric in 1993 as a non-union shop.

Today, Charles's daughter, Beth, manages the office operations. In 2005, her husband, Paul Matlock, became the technician manager. Cobb Electric is now in its 3rd generation.
