White Castle began in 1921 by founder Billy Ingram and the White Castle hamburger is introduced in the market. The name White was meant to describe the company’s purity and cleanliness and Castle signified strength and stability. According to the company’s recent press release, White Castle was the first fast food hamburger chain, founded in 1921and now operates more than 400 restaurants in eleven states (2010).
