Yes. The Chinese invented gunpowder long ago, and used gunpowder to make fireworks-style rockets shortly after that. So these solid-fuel rockets have been around for over a thousand years.

What we think of as "rockets", using liquid fuels, were developed in the 1800s. The Russian rocket theorist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky developed the theory of rocket propulsion as applied to space travel in 1903, and his work formed the fundamental basis for the more practical work of the American Robert Goddard and the German Herman Oberth in the 1920's. By 1943, the Germans were building the "V-2" ballistic missile.
