Best Answer

The first tailgate was invented by a French Immigrant by the name of Jean Taile. People assume that we call it a tailgate because it is on the tail of a truck, actually calling the rear portion of a car the tail came about through the common use of tailgate. This was originally found on Taile's personal early 20's truck. He often lost cargo as he drove through the streets of the city he lived in as he made deliveries and as such invented a board, on hinges for easy access, that held his packages in as he moved from one place to the next.
