History
The most accepted version of the origin of Marraqueta began in Valparaíso, Chile. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Chilean major ports (such as Valparaíso and Talcahuano) received thousands of European immigrants. History says that two French baker brothers in Valparaíso, whose last name was Marraquette, invented this kind of bread, which became very popular among Chileans in a very short time.
This version explains the 'Marraqueta' and pan francés names. Alternative versions come from French naturalist and botanist Claude Gay, who suggested that the eating of Marraqueta started during the 18th century in Chile.
