Everyone knows that I love historic bridges!
Zenas King (no relation) established a bridge company in Cleveland, Ohio, that built thousands of bridges across the county during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The King Bridge Company also transformed what started as a small group of craft businesses in the early 1800s into a national manufacturing industry that fed on the demand for a rapidly growing transportation network during America's great westward expansion.
