Where Was Thousand Island Dressing Invented?
Thousand Island dressing is believed to have been invented in the Thousand Islands region, which straddles the Canada-U.S. border and consists of a group of over 1,800 islands in the St. Lawrence River. The dressing’s exact origin story is unclear, but it is commonly attributed to Sophia LaLonde, a Thousand Islands fisherman’s wife who created the recipe and served it to guests at her inn in the late 1800s.
