chalkboards are a very common everyday item, and you can find them not only at school and in the workplace, but also in pubs, restaurants and so on. but how much do you actually know about where the chalkboard came from in our history? the earliest use of chalkboards on record dates from 1801 in america. they were used in military schools to educate soldiers and highlight the lesson for everyone to see. but they werent called blackboards until 1820 and they werent called chalkboards until even later in 1935 as it is more of an american term. the blackboard was first invented in the uk when a geography teacher in scotland took the slates away from his students and fixed them to the wall instead. this created a centralized place where some plans could be put.ever since then, chalkboards have come into common use. even in these modern days, blackboards are still used in many classrooms with some teachers preferring to use them over whiteboards.there is a range of chalkboards available nowadays. pubs in particular are famous for using chalkboards both inside and outside. frame blackboards are great for using outside a pub to display the latest deals or drinks on offer. you can also buy table top chalkboards that you can write out menus on for your pub or restaurant. or you can just use a normal wall
