The Ford Motor Company of Australia, a subsidiary company of Ford Canada, established a motor vehicle assembly plant at Eagle Farm in 1926. The site had ready access to road, railway, and shipping facilities on the river. The factory played an important manufacturing role during WWII constructing a range of products and parts for the military forces of both Australia and the United States. The factory closed in 1998.
