Here's a quote from a site I found:

"1885 - Charlie Nagreen of Seymour, Wisconsin, at the age of 15, sold Hamburgers from his ox-drawn food stand at the Outagamie County Fair. He went to the Outagamie County Fair and set up a stand selling meatballs. Business wasn't good and he quickly realized that it was because meatballs were too difficult to eat while strolling around the fair. In a flash of innovation, he flattened the meatballs, placed them between two slices of bread and called his new creation a hamburger. " The site has the complete history of ground meat. Copy and paste link. http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/HamburgerHistory.htm
