History
Mayflower was founded in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1927 by Conrad M. Gentry and Don F. Kenworthy. In March 1995, it was acquired by UniGroup, a transportation and relocation services company with headquarters in suburban St. Louis, Missouri.[1] Mayflower Transit is named after the famous 17th century sailing ship Mayflower.
Mayflower was involved in the controversial 1984 move of the Baltimore Colts NFL franchise from Baltimore to Indianapolis.[2]
