Description

Hill Machinery Company was founded in 1911 by James Corbett. The company name was derived from its location at 415 Lafayette Avenue in the "Hill District" of Grand Rapids. Mr. Corbett, an excellent machinist, built the business through his ability to make spare parts required by the newly forming "automotive industry". Just prior to and during World War I, there were no specialty shops. Raw materials were machined, heat treated and ground in his small, crowded shop of 3300 square feet.
