Anna Maria Island, Florida.
Ana-Maria-Cay appeared on Spanish charts around 1560. In 1892 Charles Roser, inventor of the Fig Newton formed the Anna Maria Development Corporation. His Kennedy Biscuit Company began producing the cookies in 1891. In 1898, they joined a national network of bakeries to form the National Biscuit Company, later known as Nabisco. The stock purchase created a million-dollar windfall for Roser, who joined his father developing real estate in Florida.
