Company history
In 1945, L.S. “Sam” Shoen and his wife, Anna Mary Carty Shoen, founded U-Haul’s one-way trailer-rental business using their savings. By the end of that year, 30 trailers were available through service stations in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, Washington. The rental network had expanded across most of the United States by 1949 and reached most of Canada by 1955.[34]
In 1967, U-Haul moved its corporate headquarters from Portland to Phoenix. In 2022, AMERCO announced that it would change its corporate name to U-Haul Holding Company; the change took effect on December 19.[34][35][36] [34][35][36]
