Gail Borden invented condensed milk in 1856. "Although the patent was awarded in 1856, it was not until 1861 that financing was secured and the first plant was operational. Condensed milk, initially sold from handcarts in New York City, became an immediate success in urban areas where fresh milk was difficult to distribute and store."

The concept of evaporated milk was first thought of in 1852 by a man named Gail Borden, during a transatlantic ship journey, when the cows aboard the ship became too seasick to provide milk. It was another two years before Borden's first experiments with condensing milk produced a milk that did not go sour for three days - bearing in mind there was no refrigeration at that time. Borden was granted a patent for sweetened condensed milk in 1856 and began commercial production the following year. Unsweetened condensed milk, or evaporated milk as we know it, was not canned successfully until 1885.
