The Folmer & Schwing Mfg. Co. was founded in 1887 by William F. Folmer and William E. Schwing as a bicycle company in New York City. The first cameras appeared in their catalogue of 1896. Mr. Folmer developed the first Graflex camera in 1898. The first of these cameras had a troublesome complicated focal plane shutter. In 1904 this was replaced by a focal plane cloth curtain shutter which was simple, reliable and fast. From 1905 to 1926 the company was a division of Eastman Kodak in Rochester, New York. Then it became Folmer Graflex Corporation.
