Cabbage patch dolls

Cabbage Patch dolls are part of one of the longest-running American doll franchises. Although they are commonly called dolls, the toys are more technically called Cabbage Patch Kids. Created in 1978 by Debbie Morehead and Xavier Roberts, they were one of the most popular toy fads of the eighties.

Originally, Cabbage Patch dolls were completely cloth. They were sold at local craft shows. After this they were available from the Babyland General Hospital. This was an old clinic located in Cleveland, Georgia which was converted into a retail location.

Cabbage patch dolls were originally sold as "Little People." Xavier Roberts is the main name behind the company, however he did have the help of four women in their creation. Eventually, the franchise grew to include such things as cartoons and board games.
