LEGO creater Ole Kirk Christiansen's company originally
sold and made wooden stepladders and ironing boards. In
1932, he started making wooden toys that were so popular
he decided to sell them exclusively. The name LEGO means
"play well" in Danish.
In 1949, LEGO acquired the design rights to a self-locking
building block created by Kiddicraft in the U.K. Originally
named Automatic Binding Bricks, there was a name change in
1953 to LEGO Bricks and the name LEGO is imprinted on all
the bricks.
