          I’ve been a bit lax in updating this section, but I just figured out that I had a kink in my IP address and it wouldn’t let me up date my pages.  Lo and behold, this wanna-be webmaster just figured a few more things out.  If this page can be of service to you just let me know.  Dave

Newton Wagon Company originated in New York. When that factory was destroyed by fire in 1854, Levi Newton, its owner, brought his family to Batavia. He built a shop to make farm wagons on land where wheat had grown and which became the center of the village.

The first year he manufactured seventy-two farm wagons. By 1887, it was one of the largest wagon factories in the United States, making 5,000 farm wagons a year.

Newton wagons were sold all over the country. The Newton family sold their business in 1916.

The new owners made automobile bodies and fenders. In 1931, it became the Batavia Body Company, which made refrigerated truck bodies.
