The Indian Motorcycle Company began as a motorcycle manufacturer located in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. The Indian is America's oldest motorcycle brand and at one time the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world. Indian’s most popular models were the Indian Scout, in production prior to WWII, and the Indian Chief, which ran from 1922 up to the demise of Indian in 1953.

Recognized as the only true rival to Harley Davidson in 1940, Indian motorcycle Co. sold almost as many Indian motorcycles as Harley Davidson. In 1940 Indian motorcycles were the only American made highway cruisers to compete with Harley Davidson.

In 1999 starting with a merger of nine companies The Indian Motorcycle Co. of America was formed. The manufacturing plant was located in Gilroy, California. Their first production motorcycles started with an updated version of the Indian Chief. Later by 2001 Indian Scout and Indian Spirit models began to appear. The Indian motorcycles produced by the new company captured the nick name “Gilroy Indian Motorcycles”.
