The company was founded as Binney and Smith by cousins Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith in New York City in 1885. Initial products were colorants for industrial use, including red iron oxide pigments used in barn paint and carbon black chemicals used for making tires black and extending their useful lifespan
Originally an industrial pigment supply company, is an American handicraft company, specializing in art supplies. It is known for its brand Crayola and best known for its crayons.
The Crayola name, coined by Edwin Binney’s wife Alice, comes from “craie,” the French word for chalk, and “ola,” from “oleaginous” since the paraffin used to make the crayons was an oil derivative
Crayola soon shifted its focus to art products for home and school use, beginning with chalk, then crayons, followed later by colored pencils, markers, paints, modeling clay, and other related goods. All Crayola-branded products are marketed as nontoxic and safe for use by children. Most Crayola crayons are manufactured in the United States
