The history of Remington began in 1816, when Eliphalet Remington II wanted to build better weapons than were available for sale at the time. In 1845, they began producing military rifles, and in 1857, revolvers. In 1910, the company merged with ammunition manufacturer Union Metallic Cartridges (UMC) and became Remington Arms UMC & Co. Through acquisitions of smaller gun manufacturers, Remington developed into one of the leading manufacturers of handguns and handguns in the USA. Today, the company is headquartered in Madison, North Carolina.
