Simeon Borden, January 29, 1798 — October 28, 1856
Simeon Borden was an American surveyor and inventor. Early in his career, he worked as a surveyor, but found his tools inaccurate and inadequate. Setting out to create superior tools, Borden created an apparatus that, due to its accuracy and convenience, would be used to measure the Massachusetts base line, now called the Borden Base Line. Borden was later appointed superintendent of the survey, and later elected to the American Philosophical Society. This visit to the Athenaeum came the year after Borden's appoint to the Society, and two years after his completion of the Massachusetts survey.
