When was Monopoly invented?

Answer 1

Patented: 1933 by Charles Darrow The invention of the game Monopoly isn't readily known. Versions of the game can be traced back to the beginning of the industrial revolution. Charles Darrow was the first to secure a patent on the game and thus sold his interest to Parker Brothers, therby securing a lump sum payment and royalty rights to his patent, Monopoly.

Answer 2

Well, that is actually a very controversial question for Monopoly afficianados. You'll get a different story based on who you listen to. The story I trust the most is on this site: http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa121997.htm, but feel free to look it up on the Hasbro site as well. :)

i'd say it was first invented in 1935 and then another person took over in 1937
