Chattanooga was the site of the world’s first Coca-Cola Bottling Company in 1899. The Coca-Cola taste was invented by a pharmacist in Atlanta in 1886 and was originally only sold as a fountain drink. Two businessmen from Chattanooga convinced the owner of Coca-Cola to expand into bottling the beverage. After the Chattanooga Bottling Company opened, it served as headquarters for hundreds of franchise bottlers, one of which was in Nashville and produced this amber bottle in 1911.
