R.G. and Betty Baker started First Capitol Oil in St. Charles, MO in 1972. In the beginning, we sold fuel oil and lubes. After a few years, the Bakers expanded into direct gasoline marketing when they bought their first service station. In 1984, R.G. and his eldest son, Wayne, purchased Warrenton Oil Company, of which First Capitol Oil became a division. In 1993, the company expanded westward when it bought the Columbia operations of Davis Oil. The acquisitions and new station start-ups have continued. All eight of R.G. and Betty’s children are actively involved in the company.
