Colonel Harland Sanders establishes the American fast food restaurant brand "KFC" in North Corbin, Kentucky in 1930.
He took over a Shell filling station on US Route 25 just outside North Corbin, a little town on the outskirts of the Appalachian Mountains, in 1930. By June, he had transformed a storage into a tiny eating area, complete with his own dining table, where he served passengers delicacies such as steaks and country ham. Sanders Court & Café primarily serviced visitors, so when Interstate 75 was planned to bypass Corbin in 1955, he sold his buildings and travelled the country to sell his chicken idea to restaurant owners.
