On this day in 1901 – Governor Benjamin Odell Jr. signed a law that makes New York the first state to require license plates on cars. The initial plates used the owner’s initials until 1903 and then used numbers thereafter. Motorists must make their own plates, and they do so with a variety of materials, including wood and leather until the state began to issue plates in 1910.
