It was in the year 1886, when Coca Cola was first introduced in Atlanta, Georgia. But the history of the beverage takes it a year back in 1885. A druggist named Pemberton was the first person who invented a cola wine and named it as Pemberton's French Wine Cola, but he made it to be meant as a medicine for headache.
Owing to the legislation for prohibition from the government, he had to develop a non-alcoholic version of the French Wine Cola. It was his bookkeeper Frank Robinson who coined the term Coca Cola and it was he who later became the lead marketing man for the product. The Jacob's pharmacy was the first place where it was first sold on May 7, 1886, and it was sold only at an average of 9 drinks per day for the first eight months. The first advertisement for the product appeared in the Atlanta Journal on May 29 and the rest is history.
