Best Answer

The earliest igloos are thought to have been produced on Baffin Island (near Greenland) in the 1880s, but the earliest proof of an igloo is from 1911, when several dozen igloos were found there and on the neighboring Canadian mainland. Researchers located an Inuit man who claimed to be the inventer, but his name was not recorded.

The inventer and patent holder of the modern igloo is Joel McCormick of Northfield, Vermont. He began mass producing igloos in 1961.
