Founded by blacksmith John Deere in 1837 when he invented the first commercially successful steel plow, the company has grown from a small blacksmith shop in Grand Detour, Illinois to a global corporation. John Deere entered the tractor market in 1918 with the acquisition of the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company and has since become the benchmark against which other agricultural equipment is measured.
