The history of jigsaw puzzles dates back to the 1760s when John Spilsbury, a London mapmaker, created the first known jigsaw puzzle. He took a map and glued it to a piece of wood, then used a saw to cut around the borders of the countries. These initial puzzles, known as "dissected maps," were used as educational tools to teach geography. Over time, the concept evolved, and by the 19th century, the name "jigsaw" was adopted, derived from the tool used to cut the puzzles.
Initially made from wood, jigsaw puzzles became widely popular during the Great Depression as an affordable form of entertainment. The transition to cardboard puzzles happened in the 20th century, making them easier and cheaper to produce. Today, jigsaw puzzles come in various materials, sizes, and themes, catering to all ages and interests.
