Crayons in some form have been used for thousands of years. The Greeks developed "encaustic painting" which was very similar to crayon. The Romans used this method as well. More modern cylindrical crayons came originally out of Europe. France and Germany were the most influential. After that, several grass roots companies began to spring up the the United States to support industry and schools.
