My name is Henry Ford. I was born on July 30th, 1863. I was born in Dearborn, Michigan.

I am known for being an American inventor. I started the Ford Motor Company, which is still around making cars today.

As a kid, I loved machines. I was always taking things apart and putting them back together. As a teenage, I started as an apprentice to a machinist, where I learned more about how machines were built.

In 1888, I married my wife Clara. We have one son named Edsel. I started my own sawmill company to support my family. I didn't run it for long though. Clara and I moved to Detroit, Michigan and I began working as an engineer for Edison Illuminating Company.

I liked inventing things, too. In 1896, I invented what I called the Quadricycle. It was the first car I ever made! It had 4 bike wheels and a small engine. After creating the Quadricycle, I decided I needed to make more cars.

In 1903, 6 years after I invented the Quadricycle, I founded the Ford Motor Company. Cars back then were very expensive, so only the wealthy could have them. They also would break down a lot. I wanted to make a car that was affordable for everyone and reliable too.
