The root beer float, also known as the "Black Cow," got its roots in Colorado in a mining camp. Frank J. Wisner of Cripple Creek, Colorado, gets credit for inventing the "Black Cow" way back in August of 1893.
When he came up with an idea, Cripple Creek Cow Mountain Gold Mining Company owner One night Wisner was staring out the window and wondering about the line of soda waters he was producing for the citizens of Cripple Creek. he had an idea. The full moon on the snow-capped Cow Mountain glowed on the snow-capped Cow Mountain, reminding him of a scoop of vanilla ice cream. He rushed back to his bar and scooped a spoonful of ice cream into the children's favorite flavor of soda, Myers Avenue Red Root Beer. After trying, he loved it and served it the next day... It was a lightning strike right away.
"Black Cow Mountain" was the new name, but the local children changed the name to "Black Cow."
Hundreds of thousands of root beer floats have been enjoyed around the country each day since its inception.
