===Auto industry===
Before Detroit began building cars on assembly lines in 1910, Jackson factories were making parts for cars and putting them together. By 1910, the auto industry had become Jackson's main industry. More than 20 different brands of cars were once made in Jackson, including: [[Milton Reeves|Reeves]], [[Jackson Automobile Company|Jaxon, Jackson]], [[Cartercar|CarterCar]], [[Orlo]], Whiting, Butcher and Gage; [[Buick]], Janney, Globe, Steel Swallow, C.V.I., [[Imperial Automobile Company|Imperial]], Ames-Dean, [[Cutting (automobile)|Cutting]], Standard Electric, Duck, Briscoe, Argo, Hollier, Hackett, Marion-Handly, Gem, Earl, Wolverine, and Kaiser-Darrin.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://yeolecarriageshop.com/id15.html|title = Ye Ole Carriage Shop|access-date = 2015-02-20|website = Jackson Cars|publisher = Y Ole Carriage Shop|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150403191346/http://yeolecarriageshop.com/id15.html|archive-date = April 3, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref> 
Ye Ole Carriage Shop in Spring Arbor displays more than 60 antique and classic cars, including five one-and-onlys and 16 made in Jackson. One of these is a 1902 JAXON. Today the auto parts industry remains one of the largest employers of skilled machine operators in Jackson County. The city was also an early site for the [[moped]] parts industry.
