The town of Hershey in Cuba was built by the famous American chocolatier, Milton Hershey.

CAMILO CIENFUEGOS, MAYABEQUE - MARCH 30: Milton Hershey built a stone dormitory building for single men who worked at his sugar mill in Hershey. Today, many of the rooms are too dilapidated to live in, but people have made homes in some of still standing rooms. Six-year-old Jose A. Guilarte has a white stained face after putting his mothers' lotion on his face. He and his mother are originally from Santiago and have been living in the barracks for a year. 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.
