and the Power of the Rouge

The Newburgh Mill factory was built on the site of an earlier mill,
like other Ford "Village Industries." Bovee Cider Mill used to operate here along the Middle Rouge River, within the thriving village of Newburgh. In 1934, Newburgh Lake was created by construction of the dam, and in 1935 Newburgh Mill began to use hydroelectric power to produce drills for Ford plants around the world. Local farmers were hired as workers in the plant, switching to production of parts for Pratt & Whitney aircraft engines during World War II.

You Auto Know
A small steam engine which was used to supplement the 35 horsepower generator at Newburgh was shown in the Ford Exhibit at the 1931 Chicago World's Fair.
