“Hershey, Cuba, was founded by Milton Hershey, the American chocolate tycoon who founded Hershey, Pennsylvania. Hershey invested his own money to found this town around 30 miles east of Havana. The town revolved around a sugar mill, ‘once among the world’s most advanced,’ according to the Post. Everything in the town was first-class. ‘Neatly laid residential streets,’ houses with clapboard siding, and ‘some of the only screened-in porches anywhere in Cuba.’ Also a company hotel and ‘big, stately flagstone homes, where the American supervisors lived.’ There was also the Hershey Social Club and a golf course.”
