In 1919, at a World War I parade honoring those veterans in Lodi, California, Roy Allen set up a roadside drink stand that offered a new thick and creamy drink, root beer. His creation was such a success that he decided to take on a partner, Frank Wright. In 1922, Allen and Wright combined their initials to name the beverage A&W Root Beer.
