Henry Auchey

Henry B. Auchy (1861–1922) was a businessman famous for, along with Chester Albright, creating the Philadelphia Toboggan Company (later renamed Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters) in Philadelphia, on January 21, 1904. Then located at 130 East Duval Street,^[1] the Company is the oldest existing roller coaster manufacturing company in the world. The company has been moved to Hatfield, Pennsylvania.

NOTE: Auchy's name is sometimes found on the Internet as "Auchey." But all Philadelphia Toboggan Company documents and pictures carry the correct spelling, as do the majority of Internet postings.
