Lodestones.
People first knew about magnetite and lodestone.
Early natural magnets were known as lodestones. These rocks were discovered by ancient civilizations and were the first natural magnets used for navigation and other purposes.
The first known magnets were naturally-occurring rock, so they must have been made by whoever made the Earth and its rocks. Nobody was around to watch.
Michael Faraday was the first one who observed the production of electricity by moving magnets towards a coil of wire. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction.
China is believed to be the first country to discover magnets around 2,000 years ago. The discovery was made in the region that is now known as northern China.
