It was formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company. After a dispute between Henry Ford and his investors, Ford left the company along with several of his key partners in March 1902. Ford's financial backer called in engineer Henry M. Leland of Leland & Faulconer Manufacturing Company to appraise the plant and equipment in preparation for a liquidation of the company's assets. Instead of offering an appraisal, Leland persuaded financial backers to continue manufacturing automobiles using Leland's proven single-cylinder engine. Cadillac was named after Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, who founded Detroit, Michigan.
凯迪拉克在亨利·福特公司的基础上成立。亨利·福特与投资者发生纠纷，在1902年3月和另外几位重要合伙人离开了公司。福特的投资人召来利兰佛克纳制造公司的工程师亨利·M. 利兰对福特公司的工厂及设备进行评估，准备对公司财产进行清算。利兰没有给予评估，而是劝说投资人利用利兰公司的单杠发动机继续制造汽车。公司根据建立密歇根州底特律城的安东尼·门斯·凯迪拉克而命名。

Cadillac is the first American car to win the Dewar Trophy from the Royal Automobile Club of England, having successfully demonstrated the interchangeability of its component parts during a reliability test in 1908; this spawned the firm's slogan “Standard of the World”. It won that trophy a second time in 1912 for incorporating electric starting and lighting in a production automobile.
