The development of the port of Nagoya, especially after World War II, and the advantages of the city’s central location and the abundant hydroelectric power from the rivers of downtown Honshu spurred the growth of heavy industry. Traditional manufactures of watches, bicycles and sewing machines were followed by the production of specialty steels, chemicals, petroleum and petrochemicals as the region’s automobile, aviation and shipbuilding industries flourished.
