According to someone named Jerry who wrote a household hints book I once had, isopropyl alcohol was invented by scientists at the Standard Oil Company in Linden, NJ in 1920. They were trying to invent useful substances from by-products of gasoline manufacturing. They did a few procedures with propylene gas and out came isopropyl alcohol!
