when was lego invented

LEGO traces its origin to 1932, when Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen began making wooden toys in his workshop in Billund, Denmark, and named the company LEGO in 1934. The first plastic LEGO bricks—early versions of the modern design—were introduced in 1949, and the classic stud‑and‑tube brick system was patented on January 28, 1958.
