Per the AG Website:
The American Girl business was founded as Pleasant Company in 1986 by Pleasant T. Rowland and was acquired by Mattel, Inc. in 1998
In 1986 by Pleasant T. Rowland, her idea was to create dolls that girls could use and relate to. Pleasant wanted dolls that would last a long time unlike some paper dolls. American girls were popular because they were larger than a Barbie doll.
In 1983, educator, writer, and entrepreneur Pleasant T. Rowland was looking for dolls to give her nieces for Christmas. She found baby dolls (which emphasize mothering) and teenage or adult dolls (which emphasize future aspirations of an older age), but no dolls that realistically represented girls in an eight-to-twelve age range. This experience was coupled with a visit to Colonial Williamsburg, a place which Rowland felt personified the accessibility of living history and which inspired her to create a line of historical character dolls and books.
Pleasant Company (American Girl) was founded in 1986 by Pleasant T. Rowland. It began with only 3 dolls: Kirsten Larson, Samantha Parkington, and Molly McIntire. For more information about American Girl's history, go to http://www.americangirl.com/corp/corporate.php?section=about&id=2.
