Histori
1800s
Dun & amp; Bradstreet traces its history back to July 20, 1841, with the establishment of The Mercantile Agency in New York City by Lewis Tappan, later called R.G. Dun & amp; Company.

As an advocate for civil rights, Tappan uses his abolitionist connection to expand and update corporate credit information. Regardless of the allegations for violating personal privacy, in 1844, the Mercantile Agency had more than 280 clients.
