Dr Pepper was named after Dr. Charles T. Pepper, a Virginia physician who was a friend of the father of the drink's creator, Charles Alderton. Alderton developed the soft drink in Waco, Texas, in the 1880s, and it was initially marketed as a tonic. The name was chosen to evoke a sense of medicinal quality and nostalgia.
