France. Baguette is a french word, that also means "stick". The first baguette were baked around 1814, when the richer people in France started to look for new delights. Outside of France we usually only know of the normal Baguette, but in France there are around 4-5 different version, like Flûte, which is a thinner version of it.

Baguette History

The word 'baguette' entered the French language around 1500 and had the same meaning as baton - a ling thin something. The word is derived from the Latin 'baculum.' It was only in the 20th century that it was used to describe a long, thin loaf (or STICK) of bread.
In French, the word is still used with its more general meaning in expressions such as baguettes - chopsticks; baguette de chef d'orchestre - conductor's baton; baguette de fée - magic wand; baguette de sourcier - devining rod: these examples show the use of the word in its original form.
