DID YOU KNOW: In 1764, John Hannon (or alternatively spelled Hannan in some sources) and the American physician Dr. James Baker started importing beans and producing chocolate in the Lower Mills section of Dorchester, Massachusetts. After Hannons death, his widow sold the company to Dr. Baker in 1780, and the company was renamed to the Baker Chocolate Company. His first product was a cake of chocolate for making a sweetened chocolate drink. Distribution was mainly in the Northeastern United States until 1804, when Dr. Bakers son, Edmund Baker, inherited the family business and increased production with a state-of-the-art mill.
