History

In the 1950s, Wayne Works became Wayne Corporation, a well-known bus and school bus manufacturer, and relocated to a site adjacent to Interstate 70 in 1967. It is sometimes called the "cradle of recorded jazz" because some early jazz records originated there at the studio of Gennett Records, a division of the Starr Piano Company. Manufacturers included Davis, Motomower, Dille-McGuire and F&N. A significant group of artists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries came to be known as the Richmond Group. C.
