Born in Toronto, Ontario, Casey Baldwin was educated at the University of Toronto from which he graduated in 1906 with a degree in electrical and mechanical engineering. The following year he moved to Baddeck in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia to work with inventor Alexander Graham Bell.

In the summer of 1908 Casey Baldwin and Alexander Graham Bell began discussing powered watercraft and began building and testing various types before turning to the construction of an aircraft that could take off from water that the two called a "hydrodrome." While the project was temporarily shelved, in 1919 Baldwin built the HD-4 hydrofoil that set a world water speed record of 70.86 mph on Bras d'Or Lake. However, the watercraft was not a commercial success and the HD-4 project was ended in 1921. Following the death of Alexander Graham Bell, Casey Baldwin partnered with Walter Pinaud to continue boat building and experimenting in hydrofoils in Cape Breton. A local celebrity, in 1933 Baldwin was elected to the Provincial Legislature as the member from Victoria County.
