Cadillac History
Cadillac was formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford
Company when Henry Ford departed along with several of his key
partners and the company was dissolved. With the intent of
liquidating the firm's assets, Ford's financial backers, William
Murphy and Lemuel Bowen called in engineer Henry M. Leland to appraise the plant and
equipment prior to selling them. Instead, Leland persuaded them to continue the automobile
business using Leland's proven 1-cylinder engine. Henry Ford's departure required a new name,
and on August 22, 1902, the company reformed as the Cadillac Automobile Company.The
Cadillac automobile was named after the 17th century French explorer Antoine Laumet de La
Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, founder of Detroit, Michigan, in 1701.
