From Wikipedia
Charles Brace Darrow (August 10, 1889 – August 28, 1967) was an American board game designer often credited as the inventor of the board game Monopoly, which was published by Parker Brothers in 1935. However, the game's origins trace back to The Landlord's Game, created and patented by Elizabeth Magie in 1904. Darrow encountered a modified version of Magie's game, made changes, and sold it to Parker Brothers, who marketed him as the sole inventor. Magie's foundational role was largely forgotten until later historical research brought it to light.
