Milton Bradley was a businessman and a manufacturer of toys and board games.
He founded Milton Bradley Co. in 1860.
Milton Bradley Company is the oldest game manufacturer in the United States.
Over the years Milton Bradley has marketed such classics as The Game of Life, Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, Twister, and Yahtzee.
Milton Bradley was born on November 8, 1836, in Vienna, Maine. He started his career as a draughtsman and lithographer but when he printed and sold the board game, ‘The Checkered Game of Life’, it was so successful that it led him to form Milton Bradley and Company.
He is regarded by many for launching the board game industry.
The company was a longtime leader in the American manufacture of games and toys.
Bradley died in 1911.
In 1869, he published the first book on kindergartens in the U.S., Paradise of Childhood, by the German kindergarten pioneer, Friedrich Froebel.
Bradley followed up with a series of kindergarten materials, newsletters and children's books and learning toys.
