When and where was Airstream founded?
Wally Byam founded Airstream in 1931 in Culver City, California. After experimenting with building travel trailers that made camping much more comfortable than rugged, Wally rented a building and opened a small travel trailer factory. The factory has moved since then, but that’s where Airstream was born.
Read more about Airstream’s history here, and more about Wally’s personal history here.
When did the Airstream factory move to Ohio?
Airstreams were originally built in California, but by 1952, the company had outgrown their space. Rather than stay out west, Airstream founder Wally Byam scouted locations in the midwest where the company could grow and contribute to a community. That year, Airstream officially called Jackson Center, Ohio home.
Read more about Airstream’s history here, and more about Wally’s personal history here.
Who is Wally Byam?
