The first doughnut shop is widely credited to have been opened by a woman named Elizabeth Gregory in New York City in the early 19th century. She sold her doughnuts, which were initially called "oily cakes," to sailors and others. The shop gained popularity, and the doughnut eventually evolved into the form we know today. However, the first dedicated doughnut shop, Dunkin' Donuts, was established in 1950 in Quincy, Massachusetts.
