Kellogg’s was founded as the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company on
February 19, 1906, by Will Keith Kellogg as an outgrowth of his work with his
brother John Harvey Kellogg at the Battle Creek Sanitarium following practices
based on the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The company produced and
marketed the hugely successful Kellogg’s Toasted Corn Flakes and was
renamed the Kellogg Company in 1922.
