Patented: 1933 by Charles Darrow The invention of the game Monopoly isn't readily known. Versions of the game can be traced back to the beginning of the industrial revolution. Charles Darrow was the first to secure a patent on the game and thus sold his interest to Parker Brothers, therby securing a lump sum payment and royalty rights to his patent, Monopoly.

Well, that is actually a very controversial question for Monopoly afficianados. You'll get a different story based on who you listen to. The story I trust the most is on this site: http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa121997.htm, but feel free to look it up on the Hasbro site as well. :)

i'd say it was first invented in 1935 and then another person took over in 1937

Monopoly was invented by Charles Darrow in 1933. He initially sold the game on his own. The game was subsequently purchased by Parker Brothers, and they started selling the game in 1935.

Some people point to "The Landlord's Game" by Lizzie Magie as the first game in the genre.
