History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 712130-06 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of zoos can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt and China, where exotic animals were kept for entertainment and religious purposes. However, the modern concept of zoos as we know them today began in the 18th century with the opening of the first public zoo in Vienna, Austria. This was followed by the establishment of the London Zoo in 1828, which became the model for many other zoos around the world. In the United States, the first zoo was opened in Philadelphia in 1874, and it was followed by the opening of the Bronx Zoo in New York City in 1899, which is still one of the largest zoos in the world. In recent years, zoos have shifted their focus from entertainment to conservation and education, with many zoos participating in breeding programs for endangered species and promoting environmental awareness.
