In 1886, at 28 years, David H. McConnell started a business for women call the California Perfume Company. The company originated in New York, where it is still located today.
In the 1920's, the company became national and the very first products named "Avon," were introduced. At this time, there were over 25,000 representatives, according to Avon's website. It was no longer just perfume being sold, but cosmetics and other products for women.
In 1937, McConnell passed away and his son, David McConnell Jr., became president of the California Perfume Company. In less than two years, the company had changed their name to Avon Products, Inc.
