Charles W. Hart and Charles H. Parr founded the Hart - Parr Company. First located in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1901. Production started on tractor manufacturing in the same year, with the first tractor being sold in 1902. In 1918 a new water cooled and smaller tractor was put into production, leaving behind the old concept that in order to have horsepower you must have a large machine. Hart - Parr is credited for coining the word TRACTOR. Both men are credited for being the Founders of the tractor Industry. In 1929 four companies merged to form the new Oliver Farm Equipment Company, putting an end to the old Hart - Parr name.
