Edward Gagnon, founder of Capitol Moving
In 1947, Edward J. Gagnon started Gagnon Movers in Hartford with one truck, a strong back, and a lot of determination. In 1957 Capitol joined United Van Lines, then a distant number three in the industry, as a shareholding agent. In 1999, Capitol moved from Hartford and constructed a new state-of-the-art facility in suburban South Windsor to accommodate the growth and prepare for the future.
Today, over fifty years since our humble beginnings and now into the third generation of Gagnons, Capitol Moving & Storage is one of the leading interstate quality movers in Connecticut, specializing in household moves, corporate moves, electronic shipment, exhibits & displays service, and warehouse and storage. And United now ranks as the largest van line in the country, with more repeat customers than any other van line in the nation. In 2008, All Points Moving was launched as a sister company of Capitol Moving.
