The Internet was created by the U.S. Military. The agency that created it was Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET), was the world's first operational packet switching network and the core network of a set that came to compose the global Internet.

No one person; like Topsy, it sort of "just growed." The backbone of the Internet in the US was the old ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) network, created to link various sites (mainly universities and government labs) working on, well, advanced research projects for the US Department of Defense and other government agencies.
The Internet as we now know it did not exist in 1965. However, the foundations of the Internet were being designed and used about that time. It started out as a government program known as ARPANET and was created by ARPA - Advanced Research Projects Agency, which later became DARPA - Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
