Who was the first person to use a toilet?

Quick version: Nobody knows because the toilet has been around since 30,000 BC. Queen Elizabeth I granted a patent for the AJAX toilet to Sir John Harington in 1596, but the name "Crapper" which we use for certain functions is actually a name of a plumber. Thomas Crapper was a shrewd businessman who advertised his porcelain products so well that his name became synonimous with the toilet. He did invent several improvements to the toilet, but did not invent the modern toilet. As a side note, the history of the word "crap" is fascinating in itself. Ultimately it comes from the word Latin word crappa meaning "chaff".

Where did Alexander cumming invent the flush toilet?

He was awarded the first patent for the flushing toilet (or valve closet) in 1775. This new toilet was an improvement of Sir John Harrington's water closet, which was invented in 1596 and used by Queen Elizabeth I. The water closet was able to flush, but did not have a water trap. Cummings' toilet allowed some water to stay in the bowl after flushing because of the "S trap," a sliding valve between the bowl and trap. This excess water kept the house from smelling like sewage and helped to clean the bowl after use. Many other inventors followed Cummings and contributed their ideas to what is now the modern day toilet.
