Hamburger takes its name from the German city of Hamburg. A dish of salted chopped beef was popular with the residents of the port city, and when Hamburg’s residents—who are known as Hamburgers—began to immigrate to the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries, they brought the Hamburg steak concoction with them.
Delmonico’s steakhouse in New York City claims to have served the first American version of the hamburger steak during the 1830s, while Louis’ Lunch in New Haven boasts that it served the first hamburger sandwich to a rushed patron in 1900.
