It was founded by Benneville Lloyd Singley (1864-1938), also known as B. L. Singley, an American photographer. Singley was formerly a salesman who had worked for Underwood & Underwood, another major stereoview company. Keystone's origins date back to 1892 after Meadville experienced a catastrophic flood and Singley took photos of the disaster and sold them as prints. Keystone was incorporated in 1905. By that same year, Keystone was the most prominent stereoview company in the world. From 1915-1921, the company purchased the stock of nearly all of its competitors.
