Hershey, Pennsylvania: The Real "Chocolate City"

Hershey, Pennsylvania, is famously known as "The Sweetest Place on Earth" and the "Chocolate City" due to its deep ties to The Hershey Company, North America's largest chocolate manufacturer. Founded by Milton S. Hershey in 1903 as a model company town, it hosts:

• Hershey's Chocolate World – a visitor attraction with tours, rides, and shopping
• Hershey's Chocolate Factory – still producing iconic bars, Kisses, and Reese's
• Hershey Gardens – a 23-acre botanical garden
• Hersheypark – a major amusement park
• Annual Hershey's Chocolate Festival – drawing global visitors

The town's streetlights are shaped like Hershey's Kisses, and the aroma of cocoa often drifts through the air—a living monument to one man's chocolate dream.
