Historical Dolls Release and Archive Dates

American Girl has had thirteen (13) historical character dolls (Marie Grace and Cecile are being counted as two), not including dolls' friends. Here are the years each doll was introduced and archived. This list will go in order of their introduction to American Girl, not alphabetical or what year the doll is set in. I will not get into super specific dates, just the years. The original three are not listed in any specific order as they were released at the same time.

All historical dolls except Marie Grace, Cecile, Caroline and Maryellen
