J.C. Penney was founded in 1902 by James Cash Penney and William Henry McManus. The original name for the store that started J.C. Penney in the dry goods business was The Golden Rule, but was changed to J.C. Penney in 1913 when Penney accepted a majority ownership of the chain, William McManus still being a partner. The mother store is located in Kemmerer, Wyoming and still operates as of 2007.

We'd heard that it stood for Jesus Christ, but that seems highly unlikely since JC Penney became the name of the stores in 1913 (having been changed from "Golden Rule:) and James Cash Penney didn't accept Christ as his personal savior until after the stockmarket crash of 1929. Best we can figure, it stands for James Cash Penney.
