 Fool.com: History of the Dow
The Dow Jones Industrial Average started with just 12 stocks in 1886 and grew to its current 30-stock roster in two big jumps: in 1916 the average was expanded from 12 to 20 stocks; and, in 1928, the final move from 20 to 30 stocks was made.
When Dow created his first Average (now the Transportation Average), he simply divided the total of all the prices by eleven (the number of stocks on the Average) to get his result.
Until the implementation of the Dow Divisor, Dow Jones would account for any splits by multiplying the stock price by the number of shares into which each share was split.
