Abstract:

The Hackney family has been in the transportation business in some capacity since the fourteenth century. The family and a version of their company originated in England, but the family's activities in eastern North Carolina are the focus of this article. Hackney Brothers Inc. in Wilson is the focus of this article. Hackney Brothers Inc. in Wilson once dominated the bugging making industry. In the twentieth century, the Washington branch, Hackney and Sons, Inc. made its mark with delivery vehicles. The company now specializes in the manufacture of fire and rescue trucks.
