|---|---|---|
| Country in archive | United States | United States |
| Founded | 1912 | 1909 |
| Founder | George A. Brockway | Abbott Motor Company |
| Headquarters | Cortland, New York, United States | Detroit, Michigan, United States |
| Name origin | The company carries the Brockway family surname. William Brockway founded Brockway Carriage Works in Cortland, New York, in 1875, and his son George Brockway later turned the business into a truck maker, carrying the family name onto the truck badge as many early American vehicle makers did. | The name pairs Abbott, the name of the Abbott Motor Company, with Detroit, the city where the cars were built. The sources consulted do not say who Abbott was, so the exact origin of the surname is not confirmed here. Naming a car after both a maker and a home city was common among early automobile builders. |
