The Peugeot family, who settled in eastern France in the 15th century, owned many lands on which windmills were built and weaving, spinning and milling works. Montbeliard, at the intersection of Swiss Alsace and France Comté, had unlimited water resources and a skilled and industrial workforce. These were the factors that will determine future industrial locations.
In 1810 the brothers Jean-Pierre and Jean-Frédéric Peugeot converted one of the mills into a steel foundry and saw blade manufacturing facility and created the Peugeot Bros company. This was the start of the Peugeot family's industrial leap forward. In 1858, the Lion brand was officially registered and activities became industrialized and diversified: all kinds of tools for trade, household appliances including the famous coffee grinders, sewing machines, and various other items, including bristle looms for the Second Empire. With its hard work, determination, and innovative capacity, Peugeot became increasingly renowned for the quality and durability of its products.
