Henry Ford

Henry Ford was the founder of the Ford Motor company and the sponsor of the assembly line and the inventor of the Ford motor car.

Most people credit Henry Ford for inventing the automobile. The fact is he didn't, but Henry Ford held many patents on automotive mechanisms.

Milestones: In 1863 Henry Ford was born on July 30th in Greenfield Township, now Dearborn, Michigan. In 1879 he left his family farm for Detroit to work in machine shops. In 1888 he married Clara Bryant and moved to an 80-acre farm in what is today Dearborn. During 1891 he secured a position as an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company.
In 1893 Edsel Bryant Ford, only child of Henry and Clara Ford, born.
During 1896 Henry completed his first automobile, the Quadricycle, and drives it through the streets of Detroit. He ended his employment with the Edison in 1898 to devote full attention to the manufacture of automobiles. In 1899 he was made chief engineer and partner in the newly formed Detroit Automobile Company.
In 1908 Ford began manufacturing the famous Model T and in 1910 he began operations at a factory in Highland Park, Michigan.
In 1913 Henry Ford introduced the first moving automobile assembly line at Highland Park manufacturing facility.

The invention of the car was important because it can get people to work and back to home. If you don't have a car there is plenty of other types of transport which you can use that are also cars, eg: taxi.
