One of the oldest known toys in the world in the yo-yo.Historians believe that it came from China.In the 1700s,the yo-yo first came to the west.In the 1800s,the toy was very much liked by children in Victorian,England.In the Philippines,the yo-yo was a national toy,and the people did well in making and using the toy.In the 1920s,Pedro Flores brought the first Philippine yo-yo to the USA and he set up a yo-yo company in California.He wanted to show people how to use the toy because he thought this would help him to sell more yo-yos.Donald Duncan,who was a clever businessman,bought not only the idea but also Pedro Flores's company.Soon the Ducan Company traveled all over the USA.They taught and explained yo-yo tricks,and they held contests to sell more yo-yos.
In 1946,the Duncan Company moved to Luck,Wisconsin,and the town became known as the 'Yo-yo Capital of the world.' The company produced 3,6000 yo-yos per hour.In 1962,the Duncan Company alone sold 45 million yo-yos in the USA.At times,the yo-yo isn't as popular as before,but then it came back - well,like a yo-yo.In 1992,astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman took a yo-yo with him on the spacecraft Atlantis.
