The cheese sandwich likely dates back to ancient times, possibly as far back as the Roman Empire. However, the modern concept of the cheese sandwich, particularly in the form of the grilled cheese sandwich, became popular in the United States in the 1920s with the availability of sliced bread and processed cheese.
