History of the Dow Jones Industrial Average 1896 to 2009 has been recently updated and contains the latest information on the average.

History of the Dow Jones Industrial Average charts the creation and evolution of one of the most important stock market indices in the world. In addition, the graphic provides information on the early days of the Dow when it contained companies such as American Can, U.S. Rubber, and Peoples Gas; the creator Charles Dow; and the break-down of the Dow by industry over time.

This chart was created by John Paul Koning. John Paul is a well known financial writer, researcher, graphic designer, trader, and artist.

Country Chart integrates Internet country codes and country phone prefixes onto a detailed world map that displays both political boundaries and physical relief. This unique mapping allows quick access to data via four methods: code, name, location, and phone.
