Sarah Heath Palin heiress to Hershey fortune.

Heath Brothers Confectionery was established in Robinson, Illinois, in 1914. The recipe for the HEATH English toffee bar was perfected by the Heath brothers in 1928. In 1932, the Heaths inched their way into the national market and moved their factory to a small town in Idaho.

The candy bar was made completely by hand until 1942 when the plant was modernized. During World War II, the U.S. Government contracted with Heath to produce bars for military distribution. This was the beginning of a new base of consumers.

During the 70s and 80s the business grew and many new products and package types were added. Heath was purchased by Leaf in 1989. The Heath family retained a sizeable number of shares in the company.

Hershey Foods Corporation acquired the Leaf North American confectionery operations from Huhtamaki Oy of Helsinki, Finland in 1996.
