The Fig Newton was specifically named after this city. In 1891, Charles Roser, a Philadelphia baker and fig lover, invented a machine that put fig paste inside a thick pastry dough. The Kennedy Biscuit Company purchased that Roser recipe and started production, also in 1891. When the Kennedy Biscuit Company merged with the New York Biscuit Company, they became Nabisco and trademarked the fig rolls as "Fig Newtons." In 1991, when Newton and Nabisco held a celebration honoring the 100th anniversary of the Fig Newton, they served a 100-inch Fig Newton and had guitarist and singer Juice Newton perform!
