RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) - The Oreo cookie turned 100 years old this year. The cookie was first made in New York City back in 1912. Today Kraft Foods is the company that owns Oreo.

The Oreo is made at the Kraft Foods Nabisco Bakery on Laburnum Avenue in Eastern Henrico.

Over the years, CBS 6 News has taken cameras inside the plant to tell the "Oreo cookie story."

The video above is one such story -- from April 1984.
