Brief History
The name Carousel originates from the old Italian and Spanish words Garosello and Carosella, meaning 'little battle'. Tis was because early machines were used for cavalry training by the Arabs in the 12th century.

Carousels first became popular for entertainment in the great public parks of Europe in the 1700s.

Early Carousels had no platforms: the animals would hang on poles or chains.

These early Carousels were often powered by animals walking in a circle or by people pulling on a rope.

By the mid 19th century platform Carousels were developed and these machines were steam powered. Eventually, electric motors were installed and electric lights were added, giving the Carousel its classic look.

By the late 1800s electric powered Carousels were popular everywhere in the country. Unfortunately, with the start of World War II, they fell into decline and today there are very few original Carousels left.

Each country had its own variations on the Carousel. For instance, while English Carousels rotate clockwise, American Carousels rotate anti-clockwise.
