The Rebel capital of Richmond, Virginia, falls to the Union, the most significant sign that the Confederacy is nearing to its final days. For ten months, General Ulysses S. Grant had tried unsuccessfully to infiltrate the city. After Lee made a desperate attack against Fort Stedman along the Union line on March 25, Grant prepared for a major offensive. He struck at Five Forks on April 1, crushing the end of Lees line southwest of Petersburg.

On April 2, the Yankees struck all along the Petersburg line, and the Confederates collapsed. Elgin National Watch Company was founded in 1864, right as the civil war was coming to an end.

The first watch Elgin was finished in April of 1867 and over the next 100 years, they went on to produce about 60 million mechanical watches. Keystone Watch Case Company was located in Riverside, N.
