In the early 20th century, Henry Ford built assembly plants and factories throughout the US. Just East of New Orleans, Arabi provided an ideal location to export cars to Central and South America and offered easy access to railroad lines and the Mississippi River. Assembly operations began in Arabi in 1923. At peak production, as many as 1,000 workers turned out 300 cars per day until 1933. The plant has also been used as a warehouse by the US army, a local Ford dealership, and a freight storage facility.
