Teddy Bears were invented in 1902 and named after President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. The story behind their creation starts with a hunting trip where Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear that had been tied to a tree, leading a Washington Post cartoonist to draw a political cartoon featuring the President and a cuddly bear. This inspired a Russian immigrant named Morris Michtom to create a toy bear and put it in his store window with a sign reading "Teddy's bear".
