While the United States didn’t officially become an independent nation until 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was signed, settlers founded many businesses that are still around today. From farms to taverns and hotels, many of these businesses were established in the 1600s.
The following graphic from WyomingLLCAttorney.com visualizes the oldest business in every state in America.
