The Ice Industry in the United States started in New York in the 1840's and grew into a substantial business wherever winters were cold enough to harvest ice. In the early years the ice was cut off of lakes and rivers by Farmers or small ice house business owners. After the Civil war much larger companies began to develop ice cutting on a large scale to satisfy the needs of the Meat packing, Dairy, and Beer Industries. While there was some residential sales it was not the bulk of the ice company sales.
