Lithium was found (i.e. first chemically identified as a distinct element) in the year 1817.
lithium is found in South America, North America and in the ocean.
i have know idea when it was found
Lithium
Lithium is rarely found in its pure state in nature. It is usually found in compounds, such as lithium carbonate and lithium chloride, in minerals like spodumene and lepidolite. However, pure lithium can be extracted from these compounds through various chemical processes.
Batteries
The person who found lithium was Johan A. Arfwedson.
lithium can be found in medicine,batteries,rocks and soil,hot springs,nuclear reactors,and last but not least air conditioners
Lithium is presently being recoered from brines of Searless Lake in California, other deposits in North California (very large deposits in NC), and Nevada Economic concentrations of lithium are found in brines, minerals and clays in various parts of the world. Brines and high-grade lithium ores are the present source for all commercial lithium production. The largest known deposits of lithium are in Bolivia and Chile.

Elemental lithium is NOT a natural resource. Lithium is found as an ion in a combined state, such as lithium carbonate. The reason why lithium is not found naturally is because it is too reactive a metal.
Most lithium is now mined in Argentina, Chile, and Australia. There is one mine in Nevada, with experimental geo-thermal power plants that extract lithium as a by-product near the Salton Sea in southern California. The largest known deposits are in Bolivia, but the political problems have hindered their development.
