Explanation

The first McDonald's restaurant (then called 'McDonald's Hamburgers') opened in 1940 in San Bernardino, California, by Richard and Maurice McDonald. This was before the franchise system was developed by Ray Kroc. Illinois became important later when Kroc established his headquarters there, but California is the birthplace.
