Henry ford biography: Who doesn’t know about Ford Motors Company? Henry Ford was the one who founded this massive industry. Born in Greenfield Township, Michigan on July 30, 1863, he was one of the most successful industrialists of that time. Although he wasn’t the one who invented the automobile he was the first person to manufacture the automobile that could be afforded by the middle class.Americans. He and his company made the automobile a practical means from an expensive curiosity which later brought a revolution in the automobile industry in the 20th century. Even when he was little he used to dismantle and reassemble the timepiece machinery parts and because of that he was often referred to as a watch repairman. His father wanted him to take over the farm business one day but he always despised farm work. So later in life, he left for Detroit to work as a machinist. He even worked as a Steam Engine repairman. He married Clara Jane Bryant and they had one child together.

His career took another turn when he started working as an engineer for Edison Illuminating Company. After he became the Chief Engineer in 1893 he had enough financial resources and sufficient time to focus on his personal gasoline experiments. These experiments led to the creation of the first self-propelled Vehicle which was later named Ford Quadracycle. The test drive was successful but he still worked to improve the vehicle. Around 1896 he met Thomas Edison who approved his automobile model and that motivated him to work on the model to make it bigger and better.
