The word "corn" in Old English meant "grain" or, more specifically, the most common grain grown in a region. Native Americans introduced their most common grain, maize, to early Europeans, they aptly used the term "corn."
In headdresses worn during ceremonies honoring Tlaloc, their god of maize and fertility, as early as the 16th century, the Aztecs used popcorn in headdresses worn during ceremonies honoring Tlaloc, their god of maize and fertility. The corn that burst into what looked to be a white flower attracted early Spanish explorers.
In the middle 1800s, Popcorn first became popular in the United States. It wasn't until Charles Cretors, a candy-store owner, invented a machine for popping corn with steam that the delectable snack became more popular. By 1900, he had horse-drawn popcorn wagons roaming Chicago's streets.
