====Charlie Nagreen==== One of the earliest claims comes from [[Charlie Nagreen]], who in 1885 sold a meatball between two slices of bread at the Seymour Fair<ref name=Harmon /> now sometimes called the Outagamie County Fair.<ref name=Beach>Randall Beach (February 3, 2008) [https://web.archive.org/web/20130116040055/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-25510511.html Louis' Lunch has beef with book claiming it didn't invent the hamburger]. ''New Haven Register'' (New Haven, CT). McClatchy-Tribune Information Services.</ref> The Seymour Community Historical Society of [[Seymour, Wisconsin]], credits Nagreen, now known as "Hamburger Charlie", with the invention. Nagreen was 15 when he reportedly sold pork sandwiches at the 1885 Seymour Fair so customers could eat while walking. The Historical Society explains that Nagreen named the hamburger after the Hamburg steak with which local German immigrants were familiar.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.seymourhistory.org/news/?id=35 |title="Hamburger" Charlie Nagreen |publisher=SeymourHistory.org |access-date=September 3, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |first=Myron|last=Heuer |title=The real home of the hamburger |url=http://www.herald-journal.com/archives/1998/columns/mh101298.html |work=Herald & Journal |date=October 12, 1999 |access-date=March 24, 2008 }}</ref><!-- For proof, the Historical Society's website refers to articles posted on http://www.homeofthehamburger.org/history.html, but these establish only that Seymour's first annual fair took place in 1885 Nagreen claimed in 1947 to have invented the hamburger there. -->
