History

Borden Dairy was established in 1857 by Gail Borden in Connecticut. Borden was an inventor and businessman who developed a method for condensing milk, which allowed it to be preserved for longer periods. This innovation was particularly valuable during the American Civil War, as it provided a stable source of nutrition for soldiers.

In the early 20th century, Borden Dairy expanded its product line to include a variety of dairy products. The company also became known for its advertising campaigns, featuring the iconic mascot, Elsie the Cow. Elsie became one of the most recognized mascots in American advertising history.
