Columbia Bicycle Factory History
by Kenneth Kowal · September 4, 2020
The following is a brief historical timeline of the company that made Columbia Bicycles. Many histories of Colonel Albert A. Pope and the companies that he started have been written. This list is meant to put the bicycle manufacturing of the company he started into perspective.

1878 January. Pope starts importing bicycles from England. The first sign of advertising is in March.
1878 September. Col. Pope approaches the Weed Sewing Machine Co. in Hartford about building bicycles.
1878 November. The first bicycles are manufactured in Hartford. These are copies of an English bicycle, the Bayliss Thomas Duplex Excelsior.
1894 Main offices start to be consolidated in Hartford Ct.
1897 H.A. Lozier & Co . of Cleveland Ohio builds a new bicycle plant in Westfield Mass.
1900 Pope Manufacturing , Lozier and a host of other bicycle company’s join to form the American Bicycle Company.

1902 The American Bicycle Company is reorganized into the American Cycle Company .
1903 The American Cycle Company fails.

1905 to 1913 Pope gradually consolidates manufacturing to the Westfield Mass plant. The main offices remain in Hartford Ct.

1914 The main offices of Pope are moved to Westfield Mass.

2008 Several of the original factory buildings in Westfield were torn down including the main building on Cycle St. and the building that housed the museum.
It is important to note that through all of the bankruptcies and name changes, the company has never ceased operations for very long and the company that remains today is a direct descendant of the original Pope Manufacturing Co .
