A rocking chair is a type of chair that moves back and forth in a gentle, soothing motion. It has two curved bands, called rockers, attached to the bottom of its legs. These rockers allow the chair to “rock” as you sit in it and gently push with your feet.

When Was the Rocking Chair Invented?

The exact date of the rocking chair’s invention isn’t entirely clear, but most historians believe it started in North America in the early 18th century, around the early 1700s. People in North America and Europe had already been using regular wooden chairs, but it was in North America that someone had the bright idea to add curved pieces to the legs, allowing the chair to rock back and forth.
