It all started in 1867 with the Russell, Morgan & Co., a printing manufacturer making mostly circus posters, placards, and labels, and later, playing card decks. Due to growing success, in 1894, the manufacturer was renamed The United States Playing Card Co. In 1900, a new factory was opened in Cincinnati, OH In 2009, The United States Playing Card Co. opened its new facility in Erlanger, KY. Now, The original USPCC facility has been reimagined into a place to gather, to play, to experience, and to be a part of something special.
