Where did the Hershey originate?

Hershey originated in the town of Hershey, Pennsylvania, founded by Milton S. Hershey in the late 19th century. Milton Hershey established the Hershey Chocolate Company in 1894, initially producing caramels before shifting focus to chocolate. The town itself was developed as a model community for his employees, leading to the creation of a chocolate empire that remains influential today.
