>>>>>>>I'm not sure when commodity futures started trading, before my time I think.


My earliest recollection is
founding of the New York Cotton Exchange in 1870 specifically for the trading of cotton futures.

There could well have been futures traded before then, I'm not sure.


My grandfather started trading c/f around 1892 when he arrived in the USA.
