The Stanley Works, originally a bolt and door hardware manufacturing company was founded in 1843 by Frederick T. Stanley and located in New Britain, Connecticut. Few years later, in 1857, Frederick’s cousin, Henry Stanley, founded The Stanley Rule and Level Company. In 1920, The Rule and Level Company merged with the Stanley Works and would go on to become its famous Hand Tools Division.
