Description
George Eastman founded the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York, in 1889. Kodak mass-produced affordable cameras and pioneered flexible photo film, which was invented by company chemist Henry Reichenbach. The company was hugely successful, and following Canadian Kodak’s incorporation in 1899, the company established a small office at 41 Colborne Street. Eastman bought this land in 1913, and a seven-building factory complex, known as Kodak Heights, opened in 1917.
