Napoleon
The City of Napoleon is a vibrant, active
community with a strong sense of history mixed
with an eye on moving forward into an exciting
future. Agriculture
and industry combine, and team up with, an
incredibly strong small business community to
provide opportunities for all.
A population of just under 10,000 keeps
activity bustling while maintaining a firm grasp
on a high quality of life.
Napoleon
was originally platted in 1834 and was named
county seat for Henry County in 1835.
The business spirit soared as the
railroads and Miami and Erie Canal allowed
entrepreneurs the access to markets throughout
the Midwest.
Home-grown businesses blossomed and other
businesses moved in after seeing the benefits
provided by the Canal, the railroads, and
eventually, the highway system that saw Napoleon
become centrally located.
Napoleon features a public power system
that even today allows consumers to reap the
benefits of more affordable utilities.
The Maumee River serves as a living
reminder of the active nature of the town.
Napoleon
is the home to the largest food processing plant
in the United States – Napoleon’s Campbell
Soup Supply Company Plant.
Napoleon is the proud home to Campbell
Kids of all ages!
The City also is the home to industries
such as: Tenneco Automotive, Silgan Can,
Automatic Feed, Plastech Engineered Products,
Gerken Paving, B&B Molded Plastics and more.
The City’s centralized location has
made it a hub for warehousing – boasting such
companies as Cloverleaf Cold Storage, Interstate
Cold Storage and MBM Food Service along with
many others. Agriculture
is a driving economical force in Napoleon –
and all of Henry County.
Ag producers, and the service providers
needed to keep them thriving, abound in Napoleon
and the surrounding area.
The
City of Napoleon features an exciting business
community and the people and resources that
define “quality of life”.
