Biographical History
French and Company began as a mercantile business in the mid-1860s in The Dalles, Oregon. Its founder was Daniel M. French (1828-1902), a native of Holland, Vermont. He lived in Massachusetts and Louisiana and came to California via Panama during the gold rush. After working at various trades he traveled to The Dalles in 1862, and there he opened a general merchandise business in partnership with Granville B. Gilman -- a firm known as Gilman, French & Company. After Daniel French's brother Joshua joined the outfit, the brothers bought out Gilman and established French and Company. In 1875 they sold out to Brooks and McFarland, and in 1877 the French brothers started a banking house called French and Company. Daniel French was also involved in other local enterprises, including the Gilman French Land and Live Stock Company and the Arlington National Bank.
