Detroit
IN 1915, as demand for the Model T was booming, Henry Ford came up with a plan.
He bought land to build a complex that would include all aspects of car production, starting with raw materials such as iron ore and coal, producing glass and steel, and culminating in parts and ultimately, cars. His vision led to Ford's giant Rouge Complex in Dearborn, Michigan, which employed 100,000 people at its peak, and is still in use today.
