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, 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.
