The Animal Trap Company emerged in the 1920s under the leadership of C. M. Woolworth in Lititz, Pennsylvania as a sporting goods company that paid particular attention to the activities of hunting, fishing, boating, skiing, and golf. It also specialized in the area of rodent control with its Victor products. In 1966, the company launched a contest to rename itself. The Animal Trap Company was thereafter known as Woodstream Corporation.
