Summary

The city of Detroit had just celebrated the bicentennial of its founding, by French explorer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac in 1701, when Henry Leland formed his first automobile company in 1902. Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that Leland named it Cadillac Motor Car Company in the explorer's honor. Leland even adapted Monsieur Cadillac's coat of arms for his company's logo.
