Ada Coca-Cola and Bottling Company was built in 1905, 2 years prior to Oklahoma statehood, in Ada, Indian Territory. In 1908, T.B. and Agnes Blake, the first generation of the current family of owners, moved to Ada, OK, to purchase the franchise after hearing of its existence on a train in Mississippi.
The Blakes daughter, Madeleine LeMoine, married Frank Crabtree, Sr., and the couple had four children, Tom, Frances, Frank Jr., and Agnes. Today, the company is in its fourth generation under the ownership of the Crabtree family, with Blake, Emily and Adam Crabtree, and Clint Lane all working in the business alongside Tom, Frank Jr., and Agnes.
