The first form of a bar code was used on railroad cars. The true form was first used in a General Motors Plant in Pontiac,Michigan where it was used to monitor production & distribution of automobile axle units. The other went to a distribution facility run by General Trading Co. in Carlsbad,N.J. to help direct shipments to the proper loading-bay doors.

The first item to be placed under a UPC scanner in a retail store was a 10-pack of Wrigley’s Chewing Gum at a Marsh Supermarket in Troy, Ohio, on June 26, 1974.
