Augustus Jackson, born April 16, 1808, was an African-American candy confectioner from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Jackson served as a chef in the White Hoouse during the 1820s. He left his job in the capital to return to his hometown and establish a successful ice cream business. He is best known for developing several new flavors of ice cream that became very popular at the time, especially within the African-American community. He is also known for improving the methodology of ice cream manufacturing, although there are no existing patents that carry Jackson's name.
