In 1901, tarmac was patented by Edgar Purnell Hooley. Hooley named it after John MacAdam, giving it the name Tarmacadam, which most everyone shortens to tarmac.
Tarmac was invented in 1902 by Edgar Purnell Hooley, a British engineer. He developed the material by mixing crushed stone with tar, creating a durable surface suitable for roads. Hooley patented the process, which subsequently became widely used in road construction. The term "tarmac" is derived from "tarmacadam," combining tar with macadam, a type of road surface.
