Formally founded in 1958, the company starts its roots in 1935 when David Abrams Davidson joined Gibson Inc. The family would later buy all the stocks of the firm and rename it, D.A. Davidson Company. David's son Ian would take over the firm in 1970 after his father's death.
In 1975, Davidson bought Financial Aims Corp, a financial planning firm. This acquisition would start the company's growth into the present day. "Company History -- Davidson Companies" (Business Website). Davidson Companiese. Retrieved 2011-09-23.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
