You're probably thinking of Ptolemy, though lots of people presumed the Earth was the center of the cosmos, just as they presumed their city was the center of the world. Today we speak of the "Ptolemaic System" (Geocentric) as though he somehow forced this idea on the rest of the world. Actually, the geocentric model was just one way to account for the observed data. Although we would say today that the heliocentric (Sun in the center) model does that better, since there is no actual center to the universe, it's possible to construct a working model using any point as the center for purposes of calculation.

Copernicus's theory was called the Heliocentric Theory. It said that the Earth and planets orbited around the sun, and the Sun was the center of the universe.
