This was invented by a man that had a love of chemistry called Edwin Perkins. He experimented in the southwest Nebraska with home made concoctions at home. This was at the turn of the 1920's.
This was called Fruit Smack and was the first to be sold by mail order. The name was changed to Koo lade and then in 1927 to the name we know today. There is even a yearly summer festival called kool Aid Days held on the second week end of August.
