Colonel Sanders
Colonel Harland Sanders was the founder of KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), known for his distinctive white suit and black string tie, as well as his secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices that made the brand famous. Born in 1890 in Indiana, Sanders began cooking for travelers at a service station in Corbin, Kentucky, during the Great Depression, eventually establishing the first KFC franchise in 1952. His legacy continues to influence the fast food industry, and he remains an iconic figure in American culture. Despite KFC's recent decision to relocate its corporate headquarters to Texas, the brand still honors its roots in Kentucky, where Sanders built his empire.
Born on Sep 09, 1890 (134 years old)
