Dublin Dr Pepper Bottling Company

Sam Houston Prim arrived in Dublin in 1891 with $680 worth of bottling equipment and purchased property at the southeast corner of Patrick and Elm Streets for his bottling works. He bottled Dr Pepper, along with other products, under an informal agreement until 1925, when he formally chose as a Dr Pepper distribution territory a 44-mile radius centered on Dublin, an area that remains the company's territory today. At the time of Prim's death, Dr Pepper executives noted that he had bottled the soft drink longer than any other individual. The company has remained in operation since then, making it the oldest Dr Pepper bottler in the world.
