Hiram Walker Timeline |
 | | Walker's investment of $40,000 built a flour mill, a distillery and a hog farm opposite the bustling city of Detroit on lands thought to be settled by the Ottawa Indians and the great chief Pontiac. |
 | | Hiram Walker provides amenities, lacking in many larger urban centres, for the people of Walkerville, including street lights, well-paved and drained streets, a water pumping station, running water, a police force and a fire department- all at his expense. |
 | | Hiram Walker's enterprises were so profitable, he was able to provide capital for the development and growth of many other new firms, including the Walkerville Wagon Works, which became the Ford Automotive Plant, completely altering the business landscape of the 20th century. |
