The History of the Escalator - Award Winning Elevator Injury Lawyers
The design for the first escalator was patented in 1859 by Massachusetts-based designer, Nathan Ames. Even though he designed an early escalator, it was never built. In 1889, Leamon Souder established a patent for a escalator-like device. But, just like Ames' design, Souder's never left paper. It was never built.

Who Invented the Escalator? - ThoughtCo
The escalator as we know it was redesigned in 1897 by Charles Seeberger. He created the name escalator from scala, the Latin word for steps, and elevator, a word for something that had already been invented. Seeberger partnered with the Otis Elevator Co. to produce the first commercial escalator in 1899 at the Otis factory in Yonkers, New York.
