The atomic nucleus was discovered by Ernest Ruthorford in the 1800's with his gold foil experiment.
The earliest records of the biological (or cell) nucleus are from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in 1719.
It was discovered in 1911, as a result of Ernest Rutherford's interpretation of the famous 1909 Rutherford experiment performed by Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, under the direction of Rutherford.
English physicist Ernest Rutherford is credited with discovering the nucleus in the early 1900s. He discovered the nucleus during an experiment in which the physicists beamed alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold foil. When most of the particles passed through the gold foil onto the screen behind it, but some were deflected, Rutherford determined that the particles that made up the gold foil must consist mostly of empty space. However, he concluded, some regions of the gold must have been too dense to allow the alpha particles through, and this heavy part of the atom was what Rutherford called the nucleus.
A British physicist, Ernest Rutherford discovered the nucleus in the early twentieth century. Prior to the discovery of the nucleus, the belief was that both positive and negative charges were distributed the same way through out the atom. Following Rutherford's discovery in 1911, a new discipline under nuclear physics developed.
Ernest Rutherford published his atomic theory describing the atom as having a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative orbiting electrons. This model suggested that most of the mass of the atom was contained in the small nucleus, and that the rest of the atom was mostly empty space. Rutherford came to this conclusion following the results of his famous gold foil experiment. This experiment involved the firing of alpha particles (helium nuclei) through minutely thin gold foils and detecting them using screens coated with zinc sulfide (a scintillator). Rutherford found that although the vast majority of particles passed straight through the foil approximately 1 in 8000 were deflected (even back towards the source of the particles) leading him to his theory that most of the atom was made up of 'empty space' with an incredibly dense nucleus in the centre.
The first solid (if you'll pardon the pun) evidence for the existence of the atomic nucleus was Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment.

Dmitri Ivanenko proposed the idea of a neutron and proton nucleus in 1932, the nucleus was itself discovered in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford while reviewing the famous Geiger--Marsden experiment of a few years previous.
true but his experiment proved him wrong :)

Rutherford's model for the atom, based on the Geiger-Marsden experiment results, contained the new features of a relatively high central charge concentrated into a very small volume in comparison to the rest of the atom and with this central volume also containing the bulk of the atomic mass of the atom. later this is called as nucleus.
Rutherford and collab. discovered the atomic nucleus.
Rutherford supposed that the atomic nucleus is very small compared to whole atom.
in 1897
Bohr did not discover this. Ernest Rutherford 'discovered' the nucleus. This was done in 1911.
Gold foil experiment.
In the exact center of the atom.
That most of an atom's mass was packed in a central nucleus

Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus and the proton. A short answer for the Rutherford atomic model: the atom is composed from a central part - a nucleus, positively charged, surrounded by electrons - very small negative charged particles.
