Orgins

The first frisbee idea came from a college students throwing a pie tray made by the Frisbie Baking Company in the early
1900s. Later in 1948 a man named Walter Morrison first tried to sell a plastic version of the trays which flew farther
and better named the Pluto Platter. Later Rich Kneer of a company "Wham-o" got the rights to produce the frisbies
and renamed them frisbee. As popularity grew in the product the first professional models started selling in 1964.
