- George Huntington Hartford founded The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company in 1859 with George Gilman in Elmira, New York. He was born in Augusta, Maine. His sons George and John were on the cover of Time magazine in November 1950. The magazine wrote that next to General Motors, the A&P sold more goods than any other company in the world and had close to 16,000 stores in the USA. George Huntington Hartford was the grandfather of the famous Huntington Hartford who developed Paradise Island in the Bahamas, founded the Gallery of Modern Art at 2 Columbus Circle, and was famous as one of the world's richest men in the 1960s. Hartford died on August 29, 1917, aged 84, and was interred at Rosedale Cemetery, in Orange, New Jersey. Hartford’s estate was worth $125 million dollars. Business went on as usual after his death; the press respected that he was a private man, and there were very few obituaries about his life. His sons, George L. Hartford and John A. Hartford, who had been involved in the business since the early 1800s, ran the family company. Stores continued to expand. By 1920, there were 4,544 stores nationwide. Bronze busts honoring Hartford and seven other industry magnates stand between the Chicago River and the Merchandise Mart in downtown Chicago.
