Brockway Motor Company

Brockway Motor Company was a builder of custom heavy-duty trucks in Cortland, NY from 1912 to 1977. It was founded as Brockway Carriage Works in 1875 by William Brockway. His son George Brockway later turned the carriages into a truck manufacturer in 1909.

The company was purchased by Mack Trucks Inc. in August 1956 and remained a division of Mack until its closing in June 1977.

There is a Brockway Truck show in Cortland, New York each year with a museum in the works as well.

The hood of a Brockway truck always featured a husky dog ornament, thus giving Cortland the nickname of "Husky Town USA"

A documentary about the trucks and the Brockway company is available from Wiffle Ball Productions in Cortland, New York.
