Best Answer

James Watt (1736-1819) is credited with the 1765 improvement of the steam engines of Thomas Newcomen (1664-1729), which dated from 1712. The efficiency of the Watt engine led to its wide industrial use after Watt partnered with Matthew Boulton in 1775.

The steam engine was patented by James Watt in 1775. There were earlier models that did not work well. The first steam engines were used in grain mills to run the grinders.
