Benjamin Wright Raymond (June 15 1801 - April 5 1883[1]; buried in Graceland Cemetery) twice served as mayor of Chicago, Illinois (1839-1840, 1842-1843) for the Whig Party.
In 1864, approached by J.C. Adams of the Waltham Watch Company, Raymond agreed to put up the money to start a watch company in the Midwest. The men elected to build the company in Elgin, Illinois, which donated 35 acres of land to the entrepreneurs. The building was completed in 1866 and housed the Elgin Watch Company. The first model the company made was named the B.W. Raymond.
