In 1871, U.S entrepreneur Henry Meiggs signed a contract with the government of Costa Rica to build a railroad connecting the capital city of San José to the port of Limón. Meiggs was assisted in the project by his nephew Minor C. Keith, who took over Meiggs's business in Costa Rica after his death in 1877. Keith began experimenting with the planting of bananas as a cheap source of food for his workers.

When the Costa Rican government defaulted on its payments in 1882, Keith had to borrow 1.2 million pounds to continue the engineering project. In exchange for this and for renegotiating Costa Rica's own debt, the administration of President Próspero Oreamuno agreed to give Keith 800,000 acres of land along the railroad, plus a 99-year lease on the train route. The railroad was completed in 1890, but the flow of passengers proved insufficient to offset the debt. On the other hand, the sale of bananas grown in his lands and transported first by train to Limón, then by ship to the United States, proved very lucrative. Keith eventually came to dominate the banana trade in Central America and along the Caribbean coast of Colombia.

In 1899, Keith lost $1.5 million when a New York City broker, went bankrupt. He traveled to Boston, to participate in the merger of his trading company, Tropical Trading and Transport Company, with the rival Boston Fruit Company. Boston Fruit had been established by Lorenzo Dow Baker, a sailor who, in 1870, had bought his first bananas in Jamaica, and with buisnessman Andrew Preston. The merger formed the United Fruit Company, based in Boston, with Preston as president and Keith as vice-president. Preston's lawyer Bradley Palmer, became a permanent member of the executive committee and for long periods of time acted as the director. Together, these men had a massive influence over the market. Preston brought his plantations from the West Indies, a fleet of steamships, and his market in the U.S. Northeast. Keith brought his plantations and railroads in Central America and his market in the U.S. South and Southeast. The company at Palmer's direction proceeded to buy, or buy a share in, 14 different competitors, assuring them 80% of the banana import business in the United States, then their main source of income. The company catapulted into financial success following this. Bradley Palmer overnight became a much-sought-after expert in business law, as well as a very wealthy man. He later became a consultant to presidents and an adviser to Congress.
