Durkin's began in a barn on Mallory Street, Danbury, CT. in 1904. It was founded by Patrick Durkin, an Irish immigrant, and his son Denis, who was born in America in 1886. At first, the company was making supplies for Danbury's world recognized hatting industry, but quickly started producing shading products when they realized the need in the area.
Denis sold the company to his son, William Durkin, and his daughter Rita's husband, Bernard Ginty, in 1955. The Ginty family fully acquired the company in 1976, the year William Durkin retired. It has had its headquarters at several different places around town, but has been located on Beaver Brook Road since 1999.
