Diebold was founded in 1859 in Cincinnati, Ohio as the Diebold Bahmann Safe Company. Under the leadership of founder Charles Diebold, a German immigrant, the company's 250 initial employees began manufacturing safes and bank vaults out of a factory in Canton, Ohio. The company and its products became well known following the Great Chicago Fire of October 8, 1871. Diebold had manufactured 878 various safes and vaults that were located in buildings that the fire destroyed. All 878 safes and vaults survived intact. The following year Diebold moved its operations and headquarters to Canton to meet increased demand. Diebold debuted manganese steel doors marketed as TNT-proof in 1890.
