McDonald's was the first fast food resto, run by two McDonald brothers in California.
Ray Kroc was a salesman based in Illinois, who sold milkshake mixers that people of a certain age will remember.
This California restaurant was buying way more than the usual amount, prompting him to go to la-la land to see what a small operation could be doing with so many mixers.
When he saw the throughput that this place was doing, he decided then and there that he had to be a part of it, and McDonald's as we know it was born.
Ray Kroc built the first franchise location in Illinois, which has long since become a heritage site.

An excellent corporate bio.
As I recall from reading Treasure Island, a member of the pirate crew who rceived a paper marked with a black spot had betrayed the crew and was for the high-jump.
