Obviously the fig part comes from the fruit paste filling, but Newton doesn’t refer to Sir Isaac newton, as many believe. Instead, it references the city of Newton, Massachusetts. The company that invented them, Kennedy Biscuit Works, named many of their cookies after nearby towns.

∙ 14y agoFig rolls were first mass-produced in 1891 by Philadelphia baker and fig-lover Charles Roser, who in 1892 patented a machine which inserted fig paste into a cake-like dough, that was pastry-like, with a characteristic chewiness. Roser named his product "Newtons", after the local town of Newton, Massachusetts.
