Why is the standard temperature for ovens and so many recipes 350 degrees fahrenheight?

Every oven with an electric display has 350 as the standard starting temperature. And so many recipes, especially baked goods, call for baking at 350. Is this arbitrary, or is there a reason for it? If arbitrary, where did it come from?

It’s arbietary as in there is no real difference between 340, 350, and 360.

Its the right spot for the good chemical reactions to happen without leaving the center cold or the outside burned.
