The widespread availability of ice in the late 19th century changed American foodways, allowing fresh meats, fruit, desserts, and beer to safely reach Texas communities quicker and from farther away. The increased existence of ice houses and the invention of artificial refrigeration for ice storage were two major innovations for the ice industry.
