Named for the company founder, William N. Brockway. If you google "Brockway Trucks" you'll find the complete company history at the Brockway Truck Museum site. We see a lot of old Brockways around here, the old Cortland, NY plant is just 20 miles or south of us and many of their later trucks are still on the road.
