Richmond Hill

Meer over het boek

The transformation of a modest settlement into a thriving community is vividly depicted through the influence of Henry Ford. Arriving in 1925, he spearheaded the development of Ways Station by employing local residents to cultivate vast tracts of land and establishing essential industries like sawmills and educational institutions. His vision led to the introduction of modern medicine and significant agricultural advancements. By 1941, the area evolved into Richmond Hill, earning the nickname "the town Henry Ford built" as it flourished in the lead-up to World War II.
