  • William C. Edenborn (geboren 20. März 1848 in Plettenberg; gestorben 13. Mai 1926 in Shreveport) war ein deutschstämmiger US-amerikanischer Erfinder, Stahlindustrieller und Eisenbahnmagnat. Er patentierte den Entwurf für eine Maschine zur kostengünstigen Herstellung von Stacheldraht. Edenborn gründete die Louisiana Railway and Navigation Company, die zwischen Shreveport und New Orleans verkehrte. Durch eine Reihe von Fusionen und Übernahmen wurde diese Eisenbahngesellschaft zur Louisiana and Arkansas Railroad und schließlich Teil der Kansas City Southern Railway. Zum Zeitpunkt seines Todes im Jahr 1926 galt Edenborn als der reichste Einwohner Louisianas. Die New Orleans Times-Picayune erklärte, Edenborn sei „einer der schillerndsten und bilderreichsten und gleichzeitig einer der am wenigsten bekannten Industriekapitäne Louisianas“. (de)

By the time of his death in 1926, Edenborn was reputed to be the wealthiest resident of Louisiana. The New Orleans Times-Picayune stated that Edenborn was "one of the most colorful and picturesque, and at the same time one of the least known, of the Louisiana captains of industry." (en)
