Question: Which state was the Kodak camera named after?
Answer: David Houston invented roll film for cameras while living near Hunter, North Dakota, in the late 1880s. He sold the rights to George Eastman for $5,000 plus monthly payments from the sale of roll-film cameras for the rest of his life. Houston suggested the camera company be named after North Dakota and called “Nodak.” Eastman liked the suggestion but wanted a name that didn’t mean anything. He changed the first letter and called his company “Kodak.”
