History
It originated at an orchard in 1880 as "a round, blushed yellow fruit of surpassing sweetness". Stark Brothers Nurseries held a competition to find an apple to replace the Ben Davis apple. The winner was Jesse Hiatt, a farmer in Wellsburg, Iowa. He had recognized a cultivar he called "Hawkeye". The Starks bought the rights from Hiatt and renamed the cultivar "Delicious". The Golden Delicious was found growing in Grundy County, Iowa in 1914, and the Delicious became the Red Delicious as a retronym. [1]
