The Origins of Black Friday date back to the first Macy's Christmas parade in 1924. That's when the department store held a huge sale after the parade was over and it proved to be a success. Other stores began having big sales on the Friday after Thanksgiving and soon it became the traditional start of the holiday shopping season. The name Black Friday though didn't appear for another 40 years and was originally coined by police officers in Philadelphia to describe the crowds and chaos surrounding the shopping frenzy in that city.
