The King Iron Bridge & Manufacturing Company

The King Iron Bridge & Manufacturing Company of Cleveland, Ohio (later the King Bridge Company) was founded by Zenas King in 1858.  Many of the Company's bridges were used during America's expansion West in the late 1800's and early 1900's and some of the larger bridges are still standing today.

The family of Zenas King is trying to locate any existing ones in order to preserve these pieces of American history. They have an extensive website for documenting their history. You may want to visit http://www.kingbridgeco.com/
