Tonka is a brand of toy trucks popular in America. They were originally designed and built by Mound Metalcraft Co. in Mound, Minnesota, which had previously made just lawn and garden tools. In 1946 another local manufacturer, L.E. Streater Company, approached them about making metal toys under license. The name Tonka appeared on toys from the beginning, but Tonka did not exist as a separate company until the 1950s.Tonka was bought by Hasbro in 1991.
