The four-wheel roller skate was invented by James Plimpton in 1863. He created a design that featured a pair of parallel wheels on each skate, which allowed for greater stability and maneuverability compared to earlier skate designs. Plimpton's invention significantly contributed to the popularity of roller skating as a recreational activity.
Actually, roller skates were invented in 1760 by Joseph Merlin, of Huy, Belgium.
America in 1863!
In 1863, roller skates were first patented by James Plimpton in the United States. The cost of roller skates during that time would have varied depending on the materials used, craftsmanship, and any additional features. However, historical records suggest that a pair of roller skates in the mid-19th century could have cost anywhere from $3 to $15, which would be equivalent to roughly $75 to $375 in today's currency after adjusting for inflation.
There were different types of roller blades invented that are considered the predecessors of those used today. However, it is believed that the first pair was made in 1735 in Belgium by John Joseph Merlin, and they were inline skates.
In-line skates were created in the early 1700s when a Dutchman attached wooden spools to strips of wood and nailed them to his shoes. In 1863, an American developed the conventional roller skate model, with the wheels positioned side by side, and it became the skate of choice.
