Conclusion: Henry Ford Short Biography

Born on 30 July 1863 in Wayne County, Michigan, United States, Henry Ford was an industrialist, businessman, and the founder of the Ford Motor Company.

At 16 he traveled to Detroit to find work in the local machine shops, he returned to his family farm after some time and started working part-time for Westinghouse Engine Company. He also studied bookkeeping at Goldsmith, Bryant & Stratton Business College during this time.

In 1893 he became the chief engineer at the Detroit Edison Company. In the same year, he completed his first working gasoline engine.

Three years later, Ford finished production for the first horseless carriage which he named the Quadricycle.

The Henry Ford Company was founded on November 30, 1901, wherein Ford was the chief engineer. But due to business disputes he left the company a year later.

In 1902, Ford built an 80+ horsepower racing car and named it the “999”. A year later the Ford Motor Company was established. The Model T was produced in 1908, which incorporated a steering wheel that was placed on the left side, which other motor vehicle companies followed.

Henry Ford is also known for having implemented “welfare capitalism”, which he used to improve the quality of life for his employees. Employees were paid $5 daily, much higher than the normal daily wage at the time.
