William Finley Semple, a dentist, filed and received the first patent for Chewing Gum on December 28, 1869, patent no. 98,304 in Mount Vernon, Ohio. He believed it would help strengthen his patients jaw muscles.

Some sources say this claim is false; as there was a man, also in Ohio, who is said to have filed for a patent about five months to the day on July 27, 1869.

His name was Amos Tyler and he resided in Toledo.
