}}James H. Laughlin was a pioneer of the iron and steel industry in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was born March 1, 1806 near Portaferry in County Down.[1] Laughlin died on December 18, 1882.[2]

Steel industry

In 1854, Laughlin bought the retiring Bernard Lauth's interest in the steel partnership with Benjamin Franklin Jones.[2] The company was renamed Jones and Laughlin in 1861, later reorganized as J&L Steel.[2][3]

Involvement in Pittsburgh

In 1844, Laughlin was appointed as a corporator to the board responsible for establishing the Allegheny Cemetery.[4]

In 1852, Laughlin and his associates, including B.F. Jones, founded a banking organization that, when chartered, was the First National Bank of Pittsburgh,[5][6] later Pittsburgh National Bank.[7]

Laughlin was the first president of the Western Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh.

He was a founder of the Pennsylvania Female College,[5] which later became Chatham University.
