Iikomityi zephepha ziye zabhalwa kwi-imperial China, apho iphepha laqanjwa ngekhulu le-2 BC kwaye lisetyenziselwa ukuhambisa iti. Zazakhiwe ngobukhulu obuhlukeneyo kunye nemibala, kwaye zihonjiswe ngoyilo lokuhombisa. Ubungqina obubhaliweyo beekomityi zephepha bubonakala kwinkcazo yezinto zentsapho yaseYu, ukusuka kwisixeko saseHangzhou.
Ikomityi yephepha yanamhlanje yaphuhliswa kwinkulungwane yama-20. Ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yama-20, kwakuyinto eqhelekileyo ukwabelana ngeeglasi okanye iidiphu kwimithombo yamanzi efana neempompo zesikolo okanye imiphanda yamanzi koololiwe. Oku kusetyenziswa kwabelwanayo kwabangela iinkxalabo zempilo yoluntu.
Ngokusekelwe kwezi zinto zixhalabisayo, nanjengoko iimpahla zephepha (ingakumbi emva kokuveliswa kweDixie Cup ngo-1908) zafumaneka ngexabiso eliphantsi kwaye zicocekile, ukuvalwa kwendawo kwadluliselwa kwikomityi yokusetyenziswa okwabelwanayo. Enye yeenkampani zikaloliwe zokuqala ukusebenzisa iikomityi zephepha ezilahlwayo yiLackawanna Railroad, eyaqala ukuzisebenzisa ngo-1909.
I-Dixie Cup ligama le-brand yomgca weekomityi zephepha ezilahlwayo ezaqala ukuphuhliswa e-United States ngo-1907 nguLawrence Luellen, igqwetha laseBoston, eMassachusetts, owayenenkxalabo malunga neentsholongwane ezisasazwa ngabantu ababelana ngeeglasi okanye iidiphu kwiindawo zoluntu zamanzi okusela.
Emva kokuba uLawrence Luellen enze indebe yakhe yephepha kunye nomthombo wamanzi ohambelanayo, waqala i-American Water Supply Company yaseNew England ngo-1908 eliseBoston. Inkampani yaqala ukuvelisa ikomityi kunye noMthengisi waManzi.
INdebe yeDixie yaqala ukubizwa ngokuba yi "Health Kup", kodwa ukususela ngo-1919 yathiywa ngomgca woonodoli owenziwe ngu-Alfred Schindler's Dixie Doll Company eNew York. Impumelelo yakhokelela inkampani, eyayikho phantsi kwamagama ahlukeneyo, ukuba izibize ngokuba yiDixie Cup Corporation kwaye ifudukele kumzi-mveliso eWilson, ePennsylvania. Phezu komzi-mveliso kwakukho itanki enkulu yamanzi emile okwekomityi.
Ngokucacileyo, nangona kunjalo, asiseli ikofu kwiikomityi zeDixie namhlanje. Ngeminyaka yee-1930 kwabakho ukuthontelana kweekomityi ezintsha eziphathwayo—ubungqina bokuba abantu babesele besebenzisa iikomityi zephepha kwiziselo ezishushu. Ngowe-1933, uSydney R. Koons waseOhio wafaka isicelo selungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza ukuze umqheba uqhoboshelwe kwiikomityi zephepha. Ngowe-1936, uWalter W. Cecil wenza ikomityi yephepha eyayiza nezibambo, ngokucacileyo yayizezokulinganisa iimagi. Ukusukela ngeminyaka yoo-1950s, kwakungekho mathandabuzo ukuba iikomityi zekofu ezilahlwayo zazisezingqondweni zabantu, njengoko abaqambi baqala ukufaka amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza kwiziciko ezenzelwe ngokukodwa iikomityi zekofu. Kwaye ke kuza iGolden Age yekomityi yekofu elahlayo ukusukela ngo'60s.
