Is your daughter a fan of dolls? Do you enjoy buying American? If so, we have got the perfect combination for you.

American Girl dolls are a line of 18-inch dolls, founded by Pleasant Company in 1986. The dolls portray young girls of different ethnicities, and come with a small book that tells the story of the little doll.

When first marketed, the accompanying stories and their girls were focused on various periods of American history, but the line was later expanded to add characters and stories from contemporary life. Dolls can also be created to a specific young girls likeness, for a one-of-a-kind gift.

The company’s headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located in Middleton, Wisconsin. They also employ anywhere from 2,400 to 4,700 men and women, depending on the time of the season.

If you are interested in one of these beautiful dolls, they are available at 17 different American Girl retailers across America, or you can order them online from their website.
