The First Vehicle Registration Plates
New York was the first state in the USA to require license plates. Since 1901 the New York State has required the owner's initials to be visible on the back of the vehicle.
The car owners were obliged to make their own plates of leather or metal.
As the number of cars increased the New York State passed a new law in 1903, requiring each registered owner to have a plate number but the owners still had to make their own plates.
In 1903, Massachusetts was the first state to issue and distribute plates and other states soon followed.
They were made of iron and porcelain enamel and the first plate, featuring the number "1," was issued to the businessman Frederick Tudor. One of his relatives is still holding an active registration on the plate.
In 1906 West Virginia became the first state to produce the first stamped metal plates.
