the people who came up with it were German immigrants in the U.S., who called it a "Hamburg sandwich" after the city in Germany, and it was eventually contracted to "hamburger"

The Answer:
The common belief is that the American hamburger borrowed its name from a dish called "Hamburg Style Beef" or "Hamburg Steak" which arrived in the United States from the German city of Hamburg in the 19th century. The dish was nothing more than chopped meat eaten raw.

The ground-beef hamburger and bun sandwich combination that we are all familiar with today first appeared in America at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis.

Here is a link to some more hamburger trivia from the Iowa Beef Industry Council and a link to a page dedicated to the 1904 World's Fair.

people in the port city of Hamburg, Germany, enjoyed a form of pounded beef called Hamburg steak. The large numbers of Germans who migrated to North America during this time probably brought the dish and its name along with them. The German adjective Hamburger means “from Hamburg,”
