Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was created by Robert L. May in 1939. May worked for a company called Montgomery Ward that distributed coloring books in department stores every Christmas. As a way to save money, they decided to make their own original story booklets, for which May was asked to create. He went through different names, such as Rollo and Reginald, before settling on Rudolph.

His brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, would later create the popular song.

It has been noted that the story is quite different from the song and movies. For instance, Rudolph was not originally one of Santa's reindeer. He was just a regular reindeer (besides his nose, of course) living with his parents in a loving home. Santa found him while out delivering presents on a foggy Christmas Eve night.
