reliable, easy-to-use, and packed with features campers care

walls to keep out pesky insects. About Eureka Though the exact
year is unknown, Eurekas long history begins prior to 1895 in
Binghamton, New York, where the company still resides today. Then
known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, its first wares were
canvas products--most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse
blankets for nineteenth century American frontiersmen--as well as
American s, store awnings, and camping tents. The company
increased production of its custom canvas products locally
throughout the 1930s and during the 1940 and even fabricated and
erected the IBM "tent cities" just outside Binghamton. The seven
acres of tents housed thousands of IBM salesmen during the
companys annual stockholders meeting, which had since outgrown
its previous locale. In the 1940s, with the advent of World War
II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka
expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide.
Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant
housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front
during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile
homes that were purchased. In 1960, Eurekas new and innovative
Draw-Tite tent, with its practical, free standing external frame,
was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by world renowned Sir
Edmund Hillary, the first person documented to summit Mt. Everest
only six years earlier. In 1963, Eureka made history during its
own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering
participants from fierce 60+ mph winds and temperatures reaching
below -20°F during the first all American Mt. Everest Expedition.
For backpackers and families, Eureka introduced its legendary
Timberline tent in the 1970s. Truly the first StormShield design,
this completely self-supporting and lightweight backpacking tent
became one of the most popular tents the entire industry with
sales reaching over 1 million by its ten year anniversary. Eureka
tents have also traveled as part of several historic expeditions,
including the American Womens Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna
I in 1978 and the first Mt. Everest ascents by a Canadian and
American woman in 1986 and 1988. In recent history, tents
specially designed and donated by Eureka sheltered Eric Simonson
and his team on two historic research expeditions to
Everest, this time in a quest for truth regarding the 1924
attempted summit of early English explorers George Mallory and
Andrew Irvine. During the 1999 expedition, the team made history
finding the remains of George Mallory, but the complete mystery
remained unsolved. Returning in 2001 to search for more clues,
the team found amazing historical artifacts which are now on
display at the Smithsonian.
