About Crayola
Crayola has been making crayons in Easton, Pennsylvania since 1903, and its factory on the banks of the Bushkill Creek remains one of the most recognizable manufacturing sites in American childhood.
Heritage & History
Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith of the Binney & Smith Company introduced the first Crayola crayons in 1903, selling a box of eight for five cents. The name was coined by Edwin's wife Alice, combining the French word for chalk (craie) with "oleaginous" — a reference to the paraffin wax that gives crayons their smooth laydown. The Easton, Pennsylvania factory has been the heart of Crayola production ever since.
The original eight colors — black, brown, blue, red, purple, orange, yellow, and green — established the palette that American children have reached for in classrooms and kitchens for over 120 years. The color count has expanded to 120 standard colors since then, each with a name that has become part of American cultural vocabulary: Burnt Sienna, Cerulean, Cornflower Blue.
Made in Easton, Pennsylvania
The Crayola factory in Easton produces billions of crayons annually — roughly 3 billion per year — in a continuous manufacturing process where liquid paraffin wax is mixed with pigment, poured into molds, cooled, labeled, and sorted. The factory operates around the clock, and the Crayola Experience visitor center attached to it has become a regional destination for families.
Easton sits at the confluence of the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers, a location that made it a 19th-century industrial hub. Crayola's continued manufacturing presence there is a point of civic pride in a region that has seen many manufacturers depart.
