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 company took its name from its home city, Auburn, Indiana, which was founded in 1836 by Wesley Park. Wikipedia says the community's name likely came from Oliver Goldsmith's poem "The Deserted Village," which begins "Sweet Auburn! Loveliest village of the plain." No source ties the automaker's badge to any part of that poem beyond the shared place name.
