Ford established Ford Motor Company of Canada in 1904. The Canadian subsidiary set up operations in a former wagon works in Walkerville, Ontario, near Windsor and across the Detroit River from Detroit, Michigan. In 1953, the post-World War II boom prompted Ford to relocate its Canadian headquarters and assembly facilities to Oakville, Ontario, on Lake Ontario's western shore.
