A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 459310-01 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of the Florists (Retail) industry dates back to ancient times when flowers were used for medicinal purposes, religious ceremonies, and decoration. The first recorded flower shop was established in Ancient Egypt, where flowers were used for decoration and perfume. In the 17th century, the Dutch developed the first flower auctions, which allowed for the mass distribution of flowers. The first florist shop in the United States was established in 1875 in New York City. The industry has since grown to become a multi-billion dollar industry, with advancements in technology and transportation allowing for the import and export of flowers from all over the world. In recent history, the Florists (Retail) industry in the United States has faced challenges due to the rise of e-commerce and online flower delivery services.
