    Well...according to the Bible (New Testament), Jesus invented iron (Col. 1:16).

    Science (the stellar nucleosynthesis theory) teaches that iron was formed in the center of stars, due to thermonuclear reactions. See the links below.

    No one person discovered it. It was "discovered" by ancient peoples to make weapons and tools. This is called the "Iron Age" and has various timings,depending on the culture and geographic region.

    EDIT: A slight correction to McMurdo's answers. Only the elements up to uranium (no. 92) are natural. Anything past this is man-made. A possible exception is plutonium which was probably created in a natural nuclear reactor in Oklo, Gabon, Africa a couple of billion years ago.

    Iron was created by nature, not invented by a person. There is no single person credited with discovering iron either -- it has been known about since ancient times.

    Iron wasn't invented, since it is one of the 100+ chemical elements. Only alloys were invented; the first was bronze, an alloy of copper and tin.

    each and all the climate that make up our universe, (aside from Hydrogen, Helium and a tiny little bit of Lithium and Beryllium that got here at the same time perfect after the vast Bang) have been created in area of stars, or whilst stars exploded as super-nova. and that i propose each little thing you spot is made up of factors that have been created by ability of stars. exceptionally wonderful eh? the technique is termed Nucleosynthesis. Our solar is a sort of stars yet is probably no longer super adequate to create iron.
