Edmund Dwight (November 28, 1780 – April 5, 1849) was a prominent American industrialist, educational reformer, and entrepreneur. He was known for being one of the chief supporters of the Massachusetts Board of Education, providing much of its early funding, and for his industrial ventures, as one of the Boston Associates, establishing the Hadley Falls Company which built Holyoke, Massachusetts, and providing early backing for the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad. He was also an early founder of the American Antiquarian Society, backing Isiah Thomas with several other prominent Boston businessmen.[1][2][3]
