Who founded Coca-Cola?

The history of Coca-Cola dates back to May 8, 1886, when the company was first founded.

The founder of the company was a pharmacist by the name of Dr John Stith Pemberton, who was reportedly on a mission to create a new alcoholic medicine but after the temperance movement of 1886 – a social movement against the sale and consumption of alcohol – Pemberton began creating non-alcoholic versions of the French Wine Coca.

He later created a syrup with carbonated water instead of wine and then sold his drink as a fountain drink rather than medicine.

While Pemberton is the founder, the company it is now owned by thousands of shareholders and investors around the world.
