Timeline
- 1865 - Founded in Brooklyn as Wechsler & Abraham by Abraham Abraham and Joseph Wechsler
- 1893 - The Straus family, who acquired a general partnership with Macy's department stores in 1888, buys out Joseph Wechsler's interest in Wechsler & Abraham, changing the store's name to Abraham & Straus. While Abraham & Straus did not become a part of Macy's, the two stores did share an overseas office and maintained close ties.
- 1929 - Federated Department Stores, Inc. is formed as a holding company by several family-owned department stores, including Abraham & Straus and F&R Lazarus (along with its Cincinnati-based subsidiary, Shillito's) and Filene's of Boston. Corporate offices established in Columbus, OH.
- 1992 - Federated Department Stores, Inc, merges with Allied Stores Corporation. A consolidation of the A&S and Jordan Marsh divisions results in the A&S/Jordan Marsh division, headquartered in Brooklyn, NY. Early in the new year, Macy's files for protection under Chapter 11.
- 1994 - Federated Department Stores acquires the now bankrupt R.H. Macy & Co. and combines Macy's, headquartered in New York City, with A&S/Jordan Marsh.
- 1995 - The name Abraham & Straus is dropped in favor of the more widely known name Macy's and Macy's East is formed.
