Frost & Wood Company Smith Falls ON Sign

Updated August 7, 2026

15.5" x 47.5" "For 116 years, the Frost & Wood Company was one of the largest manufacturers of farm implements in Canada. The name “Frost & Wood” was known worldwide for producing durable, reliable, and the most technologically advanced machinery of its time. Even still, during World War II, Frost & Wood was the largest munitions manufacturer in Eastern Ontario, producing hundreds of thousands of hand grenades and artillery shells. The Frost & Wood Company was founded in 1839 by partners Ebenezer Frost and Alexander Wood. Frost & Wood soon became one of the largest employers in Smiths Falls, Ontario and not only impacted this community, but the farm implements they manufactured were the principal tools used in rural communities across Canada and abroad for generations. Frost & Wood was truly 'Outstanding in their Field'. When Frost & Wood eventually closed its doors in 1955, the factory was demolished down to the very last brick." - VirtualMuseum.ca
