Iikomityi zephepha zibhalwe phantsi eTshayina yobukhosi, apho iphepha laqanjwa ngenkulungwane yesi-2 BC laza lasetyenziselwa ukuphakelwa iti. Zakhiwe ngobukhulu obahlukeneyo nemibala eyahlukeneyo, kwaye zazihonjiswe ngemizobo yokuhombisa. Ubungqina bombhalo weekomityi zephepha bubonakala kwinkcazo yezinto zosapho lakwaYu, oluvela kwisixeko saseHangzhou.
Indebe yephepha yanamhlanje yaveliswa kwinkulungwane yama-20. Ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yama-20, kwakuqhelekile ukuba kubekho iiglasi okanye ii-dippers ezabelwana ngazo kwimithombo yamanzi efana neempompo zesikolo okanye iibhereli zamanzi koololiwe. Oku kusetyenziswa kunye kwabangela iingxaki zempilo yoluntu.
Ngokusekelwe kwezi nkxalabo, nanjengoko iimpahla zephepha (ingakumbi emva kokusungulwa kweDixie Cup ngo-1908) zazifumaneka ngexabiso eliphantsi nangokucocekileyo, kwavalwa imithetho yendawo kwikomityi yokusetyenziswa ngokwabelana. Enye yeenkampani zokuqala zikaloliwe ezasebenzisa iikomityi zephepha ezilahlwayo yayiyiLackawanna Railroad, eyaqala ukuzisebenzisa ngo-1909.
I-Dixie Cup ligama lophawu lomgca weekomityi zephepha ezilahlwayo ezaqalwa ukwenziwa eMelika ngo-1907 nguLawrence Luellen, igqwetha laseBoston, eMassachusetts, owayexhalabile malunga nokusasazeka kweentsholongwane ngabantu ababelana ngeeglasi okanye iidippers kwiindawo zokusela zikawonke-wonke.
Emva kokuba uLawrence Luellen eyile indebe yakhe yephepha kunye nomthombo wamanzi ohambelanayo, wasungula iNkampani yaseMelika yoNikezelo lwaManzi yaseNew England ngo-1908 eseBoston. Le nkampani yaqala ukuvelisa indebe kunye noMthengisi waManzi.
IDixie Cup yaqala ukubizwa ngokuba yi "Health Kup", kodwa ukususela ngo-1919 yathiywa ngegama lomgca woonodoli abenziwe yiDixie Doll Company ka-Alfred Schindler 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 efana nekomityi.
Nangona kunjalo, ngokucacileyo, asiseli ikofu kwiikomityi zeDixie namhlanje. Kwiminyaka yoo-1930 kwabakho inqwaba yeekomityi ezintsha eziphathwayo—ubungqina bokuba abantu babesele besebenzisa iikomityi zephepha kwiziselo ezishushu. Ngo-1933, uSydney R. Koons waseOhio wafaka isicelo selungelo lobunikazi lesiphatho sokuncamathisela kwiikomityi zephepha. Ngo-1936, uWalter W. Cecil wasungula indebe yephepha eyayineziphatho, ngokucacileyo ezenzelwe ukulinganisa iikomityi. Ukususela ngeminyaka yoo-1950, bekungekho mathandabuzo ukuba iikomityi zekofu ezilahlwayo zazisezingqondweni zabantu, njengoko abavelisi bezinto baqala ukufaka iilungelo lobunikazi kwizivalo ezenzelwe ngokukodwa iikomityi zekofu. Kwaza kwafika iXesha leGolide lekomityi yekofu elahlwayo ukusukela ngeminyaka yoo-1960.
