George Cadbury
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition
George Cadbury 1839-1922, English manufacturer and social reformer; husband of Elizabeth Mary Cadbury . In 1861, Cadbury and his brother Richard assumed control of their father's Birmingham cocoa and chocolate factory. Interested in housing problems, the brothers moved (1880) the plant to Bournville and laid out a garden village. The successful venture influenced European model housing and garden city projects. Agitation for national old-age pensions and insurance was financed by Cadbury, who also worked to eliminate harsh labor conditions.
