- DO NOT PASS GO -
Monday, March 23, 1903. : The earliest version of the board game 'Monopoly' is developed.
The popular board game 'Monopoly' is named after the economic concept of monopoly, the domination of a market by a single seller. The game was developed by Charles B Darrow, but the concept was actually based on a game by Lizzie J Magie, a Quaker from Virginia. Magie's invention was called the Landlord Game, and was designed to promote her political agenda by demonstrating how rents enrich property owners and impoverish tenants. Magie applied for the patent on her game on 23 March 1903, and receieved her patent in January of the following year. The properties on Magie's board were for rent only, not acquisition. Otherwise, the game was played much like the Monopoly of today.
