Hormel Foods Corporation was founded in Chicago by George A. Hormel in 1891 as a meat packing operation named George A. Hormel & Co.

In the early days of the company, Hormel traded in hides, eggs, wool and poultry.

Hormel’s brothers began to join him in the business, and ten years after the company’s founding Hormel was running the company with three of his brothers: Benjamin, Herman, and John.
