International Lego Day History

Lego began in 1932 in the carpentry workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a Danish furniture maker. During the Great Depression, Christiansen began to make miniature versions of his products, which inspired him to produce toys. In 1934 the company was named ‘LEGO’, a contraction from the Danish phrase "leg Godt", meaning "play well". Today, Lego is a popular brand offering construction kits and related products and services, including Lego board games, retail stores, video games, films, theme parks, and consultation services. Despite its expansion, the company remains privately held.
