AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY

Although Detroit is known today as the birthplace of the automobile industry in the United States, Wisconsin, and specifically the Milwaukee area, made many contributions to the early years of the auto industry. Since 1900, more than eighty different makes of automobiles have been manufactured in Wisconsin. In 1873, the first steam-powered, self-propelled vehicle in the United States was designed and operated by Reverend Dr. J.W. Carhart of Racine of Wisconsin.
