The National Biscuit Company (today known as Nabisco) first developed and produced the “Oreo Biscuit” in 1912 at its Chelsea factory in New York City. Today, the block on which the factory was located is known as “Oreo Way.”

The name “Oreo” was first trademarked on March 14, 1912.
The first Oreo cookies in the United States sold for 25 cents a pound in clear glass topped novelty cans.
In 1912, the Oreo Biscuit was renamed “Oreo Sandwich.”
In 1948, the Oreo Sandwich was renamed “Oreo Creme Sandwich.”
William A. Turnier developed the modern-day Oreo design in 1952 to include the Nabisco logo.
