A major American toy and board game company, known for brands like Monopoly, Scrabble, and Transformers. Founded in 1923 by the Hassenfeld brothers.
Contraction of 'Hassenfeld Brothers', the original name of the company founded by Henry and Hilal Hassenfeld. The name was shortened to Hasbro in 1968 as the company expanded beyond its textile origins into toys.
Hasbro's evolution from a textile company to a toy empire reflects the American century - starting with fabric remnants and pencil boxes, then pivoting to become the company behind childhood classics like G.I. Joe and My Little Pony. The name change to 'Hasbro' in the 1960s marked their complete transformation into an entertainment powerhouse.
