The use of cast iron in fencing can be traced back to the early 19th century during the Industrial Revolution when advancements in metallurgy allowed for more sophisticated decorative elements. Cast iron picket fences were often seen in Victorian architecture, serving not only as functional barriers but also as integral components of landscaping designs.
