According to the official Mountain Dew site, the beverage was invented by Ally and Barney Hartman in the 1940s. They owned a bottling factory in Knoxville, Tennessee and originally sold the concoction as a mixer for hard liquor.

"Mountain Dew was born way back in the hills of Tennessee in the 1940s. The name Mountain Dew was first trademarked by two brothers, Barney and Ally Hartman, who ran a bottling plant in Knoxville. The Hartman's Mountain Dew, however, was a lemon-lime drink used as a mixer with whiskey. The first sketches of the original Mountain Dew bottle labels were devised in 1948 by John Brichetto, it depicted a character known as Willy the Hillbilly shooting at a revenuer fleeing an outhouse with a pig sitting in the corner."
