In 1870 Captain Lorenzo Dow Baker made an experimental import of bananas he bought in Jamaica for a shilling and sold them in Jersey City for $2 a bunch. After this success, Baker joined Bostonian entrepreneur Andrew Preston (18461924) and created the Boston Fruit Company. This company owned a large fleet of steamships that, with time, became the largest private fleet in the world: the Great White Fleet. In 1899 another Bostonian entrepreneur, Minor C. Keith (18481929), approached Preston and Baker and proposed to merge their company with his business. Keith had built railways in Central America and Colombia, owned lands in those countries, and was also involved in the banana export business. They agreed, and on March 30th, 1899 the United Fruit Company was born. In 1900 United Fruit owned 212,394 acres of land; in 1954 it owned 603,111 acres scattered in Central America and the Caribbean. The company also established the Fruit Dispatch Company, a subsidiary in charge of distributing bananas in the United States.
