What else did James Watt invented?
Apart from inventing the 'modern' steam engine, Watt invented the centrifugal (fly-ball) governor, the first use of a servo, used to regulate the speed of steam engines and rotating objects, including chime systems in steeple clocks. He coined 'horsepower' to express the relative power of an engine to a known everyday powerful thing. His name is immortalized as a unit of measurement; 1 Watt being equal to 1volt x 1 Amp, and 1/745 (approx) of 1 horsepower. Watt also invented a device that, when attached to telescopes, could facilitate the measurement of relative distances.

What was the first ever built steam engine used for?
The first steam engine ever created was actually invented by a Greek. (Whose name I cannot recall). However, it was totally pointless. Which explains why it was forgotten until the 18th century. The invention was a sphere mounted on two poles with two pipes protruding from it facing anticlockwise. (They could face either way but just to get a good picture.) When water was inside and boiled, the steam would escape from the pipes and propel the sphere around. For them, pointless. ADDED: The Greek philosopher there was Hero, and his device actually a primitive reaction-turbine, but as you say, it was really only a novelty. The first practical steam "engine" was Thomas Savery's late-17C mine-pump that condensed steam in a closed vessel to produce a partial vacuum to draw up water. The first moving steam-engine was Newcomen's, a simple beam-engine that drove a reciprocating water-pump, again for mine drainage. It was very inefficient, and it was James Watt who realised why, leading to the machine being developed into a practical prime-mover for all manner of industrial machinery.

What year was the steam engine invented in?
He didn't. The steam engine was invented by James Watt in 1712. Trevithick developed an improved high pressure steam engine in 1800. He then invented the steam locomotive in 1803 and actually built a passenger railway in London in 1812. Thomas Newcomen gave his name to atmospheric steam engines, which he invented. The first was installed in 1712 close to Dudley Castle in the Black Country. He had to share his success with Thomas Savery, who had previously taken out a general patent covering all the possible means of pumping water by ateam power.
