Seth Wheeler was credited with the invention and later assigned the rights to the patent to the Albany Perforated Wrapping Paper Company.
Seth Wheeler's 1891 patent shows the original placement of the toilet paper roll using an "over" approach. Not that you should ever blindly follow the crowd, but a whopping 70% of the population prefers the “over” position.
