 In 1919 J.W. Longaberger became an apprentice for the Dresden (Ohio) Basket Company. During the depression the company closed, but Mr. Longaberger, with his wife Bonnie,  kept weaving baskets. They earned enough money to buy the closed basket factory. !973, Dave Longaberger, son of J.W. and Bonnie opened the J.W. Longaberger Basket Company. In 1978 the company began selling the baskets thru home parties.

All Longaberger baskets were hand crafted using Forms that the Maple wood slats are bent over to shape each individual basket. When finished the weaver's marks his or her initials, the year made and the Longaberger Basket Handmade logo into the bottom of the basket.
