Dundee was an important fishing centre from early times and became home to one of Scotland’s largest whaling fleets. Early in the 19th century it was discovered that jute fibre mixed with whale oil could be woven into sacking for bags and carpet backing, leading to the city's textile manufacturers focusing on jute production and associated products. Dundee also became prominent in the production of confectionery and preserves. Dundee was created a city in 1892.

Dundee was an important fishing centre from early times and became home to one of Scotland’s largest whaling fleets. Weaving was also also important to the town, the token opposite proudly proclaiming that in 1796 the town imported 3336 tons of flax and hemp with a value of £160,128. Early in the 19th century it was discovered that jute fibre mixed with whale oil could be woven into sacking for bags and carpet backing, leading to the city's textile manufacturers focusing on jute production and associated products. Dundee also became prominent in the production of confectionery and preserves. Dundee was created a city in 1892.

With the decline of the textile industry, activity in light manufacture increased in Dundee with information technology and biotechnology become more prominant lately.

DUNDEE EQUITABLE CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY 1862-1867

In May 1867 there was a call to windup the company and in July the liqudator was suing a member for 18 shillings due on a share.

DUNDEE EASTERN CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY 1873-1971

This company was started in 1873, six months after the Dundee Co-operative Association. To distinguish itself from the other co-operative, it took the name Dundee East, which is where it started. By 1875 it was calling itself Dundee Eastern, the name it registered under. The company was using checks no later than October 1892 when it reported that £317 was being carried forward into the next half year to meet a consdierable number of checks that, although not handed in, may have to be paid.

The society joined the SCRS in 1971.
