In 1890, businessman George Wood started the Wawa Dairy Farm in Pennsylvania with imported British cows from the island of Guernsey. The company turned to convenience stores in the1960s when consumers stopped getting milk delivered at home.

Named for its first milk plant and corporate headquarters in Pennsylvania, Wawa is the Ojibwe word for the Canada goose, the corporate logo.
