The town, or at least the main street that goes by the factory. As far as I know, no orange people were enslaved.
Seriously though, Milton Hershey was surprisingly progressive for his time. He built affordable homes for his workers and helped them become home owners. The school he built was originally for orphaned boys.

I got a pump and dump scam from an alias that I only used for my brokerage account. They assured me it wasn't them. A week later they publicly announced that they were hacked.
