Century Motor Vehicle Company was founded in Syracuse, New York in 1899. At the very start of the automobile industry's history, a group connected with the Barnes Cycle Company, including bicycle racer and designer, William Van Wagoner from New Jersey, began to tinker with automobiles, as did all other bicycle producers of the day. Van Wagoner and partner Charles F. Saul had a prototype ready by 1899 which was named the Van Wagoner. Founders of the company were Saul, Van Wagoner, Charles Listman, Charles A. Bridgman and Hiram W. Plumb.〔Kimes, Beverly Rae (editor) and Clark, Henry Austin, jr., ; The Standard Catalogue of American Cars, 2nd Edition, Krause Publications, Iola WI 54990 (1985), ISBN 0-87341-111-0; p. 253-254〕 Barnes Bicycle Co., whose ''White Flier'' sold for $125 or more, was absorbed by the American Bicycle Company in 1900. The next year, the group from Barnes produced a few ''runabouts'' and named their car the ''Century''. In July 1901, the company had such a demand for the output of the factory that the stockholders increased capital and proposed to increase the capacity of the plant in East Water Street.
