| Cooper Industries was founded
in 1833 by brothers Charles
and Elias Cooper. The company
started as a foundry located
in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, and was
initially called the C&E
Cooper Company. Cooper’s
initial product offerings
included plows, hog troughs,
kettles and stoves. By the
mid-nineteenth century, the
Company had shifted its focus
to manufacturing steam engines
in hopes of leveraging the
country’s growing trend
towards rail transportation.
It was during this period that
the Company developed the
Cooper Traction Engine, an
innovation that is credited
for helping to power our
nation’s move from an agrarian
to an industrial society.
