Century Camera Co., Rochester,
NY (1900)
Century Camera Div., EKC (1907)
Folmer-Century Div., EKC
Century opened its doors in 1900, which explains its name. In
1903, George Eastman bought a controlling interest. In 1905, the
company acquired the Rochester Panoramic Co., which made the popular
Circuit camera (not covered here). In 1907 the company began its
long and inevitable absorption into EKC, eventually only existing
through the camera names it coined.
