Jamestown, Virginia is known to be the first factory to make glass in the US., in 1608. However, failure after failure due to illnesses and native Indian attacks, stopped glass making production until a plant opened in 1780 in Salem County, New Jersey. Since then, glass makers all throughout the nation have developed their own glass products. Of course, the more popular use for glass was its use in window making, followed by glass bottles and flasks, which were mainly used to house whiskey. In 1880, glass making moved into the commercial industry for food packing, followed by glass tableware products and kerosene lamps, which helped the glass making industry expand rapidly.
