Early Life
• Milton Snavely Hershey was born on a farm near Derry Church, Pennsylvania, on September 13, 1857.
• He was the only surviving child of Henry and Fanny Hershey.
• Due to the family’s frequent moves, Milton dropped out of school after fourth grade.

Lancaster Caramel Company
• After three failed attempts at candy-making in Philadelphia, Chicago, and New York, Hershey returned to Lancaster in 1883.
• He then established the Lancaster Caramel Company using a caramel recipe he had learned during his previous travels. The company was a success!

Lancaster Caramel Company (continued)
• Hershey soon became interested in German chocolate-making equipment. He bought this equipment for his factory.
• Even though his company was a success, Hershey determined that the chocolate industry was more promising than caramel. He sold the company for $1,000,000 in 1900 and began what has come to be known as the Hershey Chocolate Company.

Hershey Chocolate
• With the money from the sell of Lancaster Caramel Company, Hershey got 40,000 acres of land near his birthplace of Derry Church, near Lancaster.
• This location could easily provide fresh milk to produce fine milk chocolate.
