| The Maxmobile |

The Township is known as the birthplace of, “The Maxmobile”, the first hand-made automobile in Canada. While Henry Ford was creating the world's first automobile in the early 1900s, a resident of Warwick Township, David A. Maxwell, was inventing an automobile of his own. As the story goes, Henry Ford was interested in developing a business partnership with Mr. Maxwell who turned down his offer. This historic and monumental automobile is still in existence today and on display in the Old Fire Hall Museum in Watford. |
