The modern broom probably was first crafted about 1820, when broomcorn or sorghum was adopted.

Before recorded history, people probably picked up twigs and tied them into bundles. That is a pretty good description of today's broom! It is plastic, broomcorn, sotol or any of dozens of local plants tied into bundles and [maybe] attached to a handle.

What else can I help you with?
