ROD RECIPES 1/12/2007 Roller Skating Day Skating Wonderland Cake A Belgian inventor named Joseph Merlin introduced the first recorded roller skate in 1760. In 1863, James Plimpton, a businessman from Massachusetts, invented a roller skate that could turn. It was called a "rocking" skate -- the first one that really let people skate curves and turn. The National Museum of Roller Skating is located in Lincoln, Nebraska.
