George Draper Dayton started Dayton's Dry Goods Company (1902) which eventually became the Dayton Company. In 1962, while working for the Dayton company, John F. Geisse came up with the idea of an upscale discount retail store. The "Target" name was created by Dayton's publicity director, Stewart K. Widdess.
