Wikipedia credits the initial development of the telescope to three men from the Netherlands: Hans Lippershey, Zacharias Janssen, and Jacob Metius in 1608. It's possible that earlier models existed, but we don't know who might have done it.
We do know that it wasn't Galileo, and it wasn't 1609, which was when Galileo received his telescope. Galileo did substantially improve the design of telescopes, and he was (to the best of our knowledge) the first person to point a telescope to the skies.
