The history of the blacksmith industry, which is considered to be the first industry, is as old as thirty-eight thousand years. It is believed that this industry started with the manufacture of weapons for military purposes during the reign of King Manu.
The book \'Vajjat Rasaya Uta Tansara\' has revealed information about the manufacturing of arms in India. According to the information mentioned there, Kandy, Matale and Atakalampanna are the first places where this industry has started. Blacksmiths have also carried out the construction of all the weapons required for the war after a war has ended, agricultural implements in general stores and household implements required. As the first industry that started in this country, the blacksmith industry is currently dying. Some time ago, every village had at least one blacksmith or a few blacksmiths. But today, not even ten villages can see a single blacksmith. There are very few traditional blacksmiths in this country today. Due to the invasion of the market by modern machine-made equipment and the severe difficulty in finding raw materials, they are also abandoning this traditional industry and turning to other life occupations.
