          Who Is Milton Hershey?

          Milton Hershey was born on September 13, 1857, in Derry Township, Pennsylvania, although some sources say he was born in Derry Church, Pennsylvania.

          Following an incomplete rural school education, Hershey was apprenticed at age 15. After two failed attempts, Hershey set up the Lancaster Caramel Co. In 1900 Hershey sold the company, focused on perfecting the formula for chocolate bars, and began building what would become the world’s largest chocolate-manufacturing plant.

          Early Years

          Entrepreneur Milton Snavely Hershey was the only surviving child of Veronica "Fanny" Snavely and Henry Hershey.

          Born on a farm outside of Derry Church, Pennsylvania—a small farming community in the central part of the state—Hershey spent the early years of his childhood trailing his father, a dreamer who always had his eye out for the next big opportunity.

          But Henry Hershey lacked the perseverance and work ethic to stick anything out.
