Early History. Domino Sugar Corporation traces its roots back to William Havemeyer, an enterprising English immigrant who had worked as a supervisor in a cane sugar refinery and arrived in New York in 1799.
In order to make new confections, the Chinese sweetened all their traditional favorites including ginger, licorice root and nuts with sugar. By the 950 A.D Arabs had invented caramel, which was originally used for hair. They built the first sugar refinery in the world. The Indians were the first to make sugar candy about 250 A.D. In the 14th century, Venetians began to import sugar to make candy. During the middle Ages, sugar candies became very popular. The candy was categorized and sold as a drug. Candies were exclusively for the wealthy people as sugar was very expensive.
