The '''McCormick family''' of [[Chicago]] and [[Virginia]] is an [[Americans|American]] family of Scottish and Scots-Irish descent that attained prominence and fortune starting with the invention of the [[McCormick reaper]], a machine that revolutionized [[agriculture]] and established the modern [[grain trade]] by beginning the [[mechanised agriculture|mechanization]] of the [[harvest]]ing of [[grain]]. Through the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company and later, the [[International Harvester|International Harvester Company]] and other investments, the McCormicks became one of the wealthiest families in America. The name became ubiquitous in agriculture starting in the 19th century and the press dubbed the McCormicks the "Reaper Kings". Later generations expanded into [[media (communication)|media]] and [[publishing]] ([[Tribune Media|Tribune Company]]), [[finance]] ([[William Blair & Company]]), and [[real estate]] (McCormick Estates).{{citation needed|date=February 2024}} Various family members were well known as [[civic engagement|civic leaders]]. The family is Presbyterian.
