The New England Glass Company was founded in 1818. In 1888, Edward Drummond Libbey, son of the first corporate owner, William, moved the company from East Cambridge, Massachusetts to Toledo, Ohio. The Northwest Ohio area offered abundant natural gas resources and access to large deposits of high quality sand. Toledo also had a network of railroad and steamship lines, making it an ideal location for the company. In 1892, the name was changed to The Libbey Glass Company. In 1907 Libbey became the first to develop machine blown glass tumblers, and in 1975 developed the largest machine made stemware in the world.
