Iron wasn't invented. It is an ore and comes from iron mines. Steel is made from iron using a process of heating the ore and then removing the impurities from the ore through blowing air through it. The man who came up with this process was named Bessemer and his method is still used today.

It is uncertain who found iron first, in pure form, from meteors. In this state, it was worth several times the same amount of gold, being stronger than bronze, the best metal readily available at the time. However, The Hittite Civilization in the Middle East first descovered iron smelting, by which impure ore could be made into useable iron.
