The Carrom Company was organized in 1889 and has provided over a century of entertainment for young and old alike. From games of strategy and skill to games of just plain fun, Carrom was a part of American family life for our grandparents and will be around for our grandchildren in the years to come.

In the last quarter of the 19th century Henry Haskell, a Sunday School teacher, viewed with alarm the growing number of boys who loafed around pool rooms. (Ironically, the company would eventually manufacture pool tables.) Haskell had an inventive mind and he concentrated his thought on supplying a game which would appeal to these boys and supply wholesome enjoyment. Soon after, Haskell patented and introduced the U.S. Carrom game board. Produced at Ludington Novelty Works (Ludington, MI) of which he was part owner.

Name changed to Carrom Company. (1914)

The Carrom Company continued to grow and prosper until the late 1920's when the Great Depression began. The company was kept alive only because of the determination of the Stearns' interests to maintain as much employment as possible during a difficult time.
