The village of Sturtevant, Wisconsin had a unique history of naming themselves after their largest employer. Starting with Western Union Junction then Corliss, they changed their name a final time in 1923 when the B.F.Sturtevant Co. occupied the closed Corliss steam engine factory.

A living piece of Sturtevant exists in the Sturtevant Vacuum Division of London-based Clyde Materials.

The Division's roots trace back to the Sturtevant Engineering Co., founded in 1889 by the B.F.Sturtevant Co. to sell their products throughout Europe. As a result of changed government policy post-WW1, they were forced to divest control of it.

The crusher business of Sturtevant Engineering was acquired by another British company, Christy Hunt (now known as Christy Turner Group), in the mid-80s.

Sturtevant Roll Jaw Crushers (seen at left), Rotary Fine Crushers and Balanced Rolls are part of their product line. They are used to crush a wide variety of materials into granular form.

Sturtevant Home, Hebron Academy, Hebron,ME. Named after Benjamin Sturtevant's wife, Phoebe, for her significant contribution to its construction in 1899. Upon her death in 1903, she bequeathed $150,000 to the institution. In the Hebron semester of 1904, Principal Sargent paid a nice tribute to her.

In it he said: " Some say Sturtevant Home is her monument. As I knew her, I do not think she regarded it. It was a part, an essential part. Her remarkable gift of $150,000 in her will is her best testimony that she had a very clear vision of her monument, and that a school equipped and endowed."
