On the Isle of Man (an island located in the northern Irish Sea), the Quiggin family made the oldest commercially made mint patty or cake. (The Quiggin's family made it. They had been baking the cakes for since 1840, but four of the sons formed the Kendal Mint Cake Company in 1880.

Peppermint patties were first made by regional confectioneries in the United States as early as 1900. Idaho Candy Company, Trudeau Candie's, and Pearson's are among the Idaho Candy Company, Trudeau Candie's... Pearson purchased Trudeau in 1951, both Minnesota businesses. Pearson's purchased Trudeau in 1951. The York Cone Company of Pennsylvania made arguably the most well-known, but not the oldest, York Peppermint Patties.

Peppermint Patties were first made in 1940 and sold regionally, much like other candy makers of the time. Although some of the others were soft, York dominated the market due to its firmness and crispness, while others were soft. Before leaving the factory, a former York employee remembered that the final (sample) test of the patty had been described as a "snap test." If the candy didn't break clean in the middle, it did not make it to candy store shelves, not because it didn't break it open in the middle.

Peter Paul Cadbury purchased the company in 1975 by Peter Paul Cadbury. Cadbury's factory moved to Reading, Pennsylvania, much to the workers and residents of York's dread. The company later exported the popular treat around the country. The company began selling the popular treat.
