The word "Hamburger" comes from Hamburg, Germany; the inhabitants of this city are also known as "Hamburger" in German but as Hamburgians in English. In Germany, local traditional snacks are often named after the place of origin, like the Frankfurter (also known as a hotdog), the Berliner (a type of "doughnut") or (Nürnberger) Bratwurst. In Hamburg it was common to put a piece of roast pork into a roll, called Rundstück warm, although this is missing the "essence" of the modern hamburger, which is ground meat. Yet another theory however states that also in Hamburg, Germany, meatscraps, similar to modern ground beef were served on a Brötchen, a round bun-shaped piece of bread. It is said that German immigrants then took the Hamburger to the United States, where the bun was added, creating the modern Hamburger.
The first hamburgers in U.S. history were served in New Haven, Connecticut, at Louis' Lunch sandwich shop established in 1895. . This small lunch wagon on Meadow Street in the city of New Haven, Connecticut, Louis Lassen is sometimes credited with having invented this quick businessman's meal when he sandwiched a broiled beef patty between two pieces of white toast for a busy office worker in 1900. Louis' Lunch was serving hamburgers from its closet-sized third location in the 1970s when it had to be re-located to 261-263 Crown Street to make room for a high-rise. Their burgers are prepared the same way they were since the beginning, hand formed beef patties broiled in the same stoves served on toasted white bread instead of a hamburger bun and no condiments; the only permitted garnishes are cheese, tomato, and onion. Trager (1997).

It was invented in America somewhere. It's how fast food first started out. One day during lunch hour a regular customer told the cook he needed his meat ball sooner than later. (These meat balls go between two slices of bread.) In anger the cook squashed the meat ball to make it more flat in order for it to cook faster. As it turns out the customer loved the idea and the Hamburger was born. "White Castle" was the first hamburger chain in the world.
