Best Answer

Brooms have been around for at least two thousand years. For the longest time they were constructed of twigs lashed to a handle.

In 1797, Levi Dickenson introduced the use of sorghum, or "broom corn," as broom bristles.

In 1798, the Shakers invented the broom vice, which allowed brooms to be flattened and sewn into shape.

Come the Industrial Revolution, and you see Massachusetts making over a million brooms in a single year (1850).
