Nikko (Nihon Kogaku Kôgyô) was founded in 1917 when three Japanese optical manufacturers merged; in 1918 Nikko started its optical glass production and research. Since 1946 the company is known as "Nikon".

Find out more at the official Nikon web site (http://www.japanreference.com/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?ID=3739) and check their portfolio site (http://www.nikon.co.jp/main/eng/portfolio/history.htm) for more historical details.
