ANSWER:
The first historical reference to the candy cane goes back to 1670, when a choirmaster in Germany bent sugar candy sticks into canes to represent a shepherd's staff. The all-white candy canes were given out to children to keep them occupied during the long-winded nativity services.
The clergymens' custom of handing out candy canes during Christmas services spread throughout Europe and later to America. The canes were still white, but sometimes the candy-makers would add sugar roses to decorate the canes.
The first historical reference to the candy cane being used as a decoration in America goes back to 1847, when a German immigrant named August Imgard decorated the Christmas tree in his Wooster, Ohio home with candy canes. The first striped canes didn't come about until closer to the turn of the century.
