The town of Hershey in Cuba was built by the famous American chocolatier, Milton Hershey.
CAMILO CIENFUEGOS, MAYABEQUE - APRIL 1: Antonio Gonzalez, 18, left, and Orlando Hernandez, 22, load sugarcane onto their horse pulled wagon in a cane field in Camilo Cienfuegos, which was once the town of Hershey. Hernandez is the butcher in the town and comes to the field every day to get sugarcane to feed his horses. About 30 miles east of Havana lies the now defunct sugar mill town of Camilo Cienfuegos which was built by the famous American chocolatier, Milton Hershey, and was originally named Hershey. The town grew up around a giant sugar mill and featured American style amenities in Cuba, a golf course, baseball diamond, power plant, water system, school and rows of nice affordable wooden houses for the workers. Hershey also built an electric railway system which connects Hershey to the large cities of Havana and Matanzas allowing the sugar and employees to come and go with ease. (Photo by Sarah L.
