According to the food manufacturer Kraft, "Cream cheese originated in the United States in 1872 when a dairyman in Chester, NY , developed a "richer cheese than ever before," made from cream as well as whole milk. Then in 1880, a New York cheese distributor, A. L. Reynolds, first began distributing cream cheese wrapped in tin-foil wrappers, calling it Philadelphia Brand." The cheese was inspired by the French cheese Neufchatel .
