The Cuckoo Clock s origins date back to the early 16s in the Black Forest region of Europe when people carved intricate wooden clocks during the snowbound winter months. In 1738, Franz Letterer made the first Cuckoo Clock with the little bird behind a small door that opened to let the bird call out the hour and half hour.
