History,
The first piece of pottery was produced by a Susquehanna-Pfaltzgraff forebear in the early 1800s. The famous pottery company was founded in 1811 by George Falsgraff, but a second George Falsgraff arrived in York with his wife, Helwig, in 1833. It is from George and Helwig Falsgraff that the Pfaltzgraff line has descended and passed down its successful business. The business became official in 1889 when George and Henry started a partnership that would become The Pfaltzgraff Co. The first factory was built in 1895.
