From its earliest beginnings, Crayola has been a color company. They came into being when cousins Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith took over Edwins fathers pigment business in 1885. More than 120 years later, color – along with creativity, learning and most of all, fun – is the hallmark of their company. Crayola has called Easton, Pennsylvania its home since the early 1900s. Today, the companys world headquarters and major manufacturing facilities are located there. And downtown Easton is the home of The Crayola FACTORY® , a one-of-a-kind celebration of creative fun for everyone!
