Several sources have confirmed the earliest printed citations of Halloween’s most popular phrase came from The Sault Daily Star in 1917
According to Barry Popik, an American etymologist from New York who has been studying language for decades, the Sault is the first place to reference ‘tricks or treats’ in print anywhere in the world.
That was the first known printed reference to the phrase for well over a decade until last year when he discovered the Edmonton Bulletin mentioned ‘treat or tricks’ in a 1922 story. Popik has reached out to news organizations and publications across the globe requesting them to write about the Sault being the first to mention ‘tricks or treats’ in print.
Meanwhile, local historian Cindy Ellen Crawford says the Sault Ste. Marie Public Library Archives recently made her aware of the ‘tricks and treats’ publication origins, and she presented that information as a guest speaker at the Ermatinger Clergue National Historic Site last week.
