We're not sure about their discovery, but the absence of suspension bridges was discovered in 1492, when Columbus, attempting to walk from Portugal to India, realized he couldn't. Engineers such as Roebling and Eiffel, many years later, discovered steel. And cheese. Suspension bridges were thus implied, if not actually observed.

How did the suspension bridge get its name?
Suspension bridges are held, or suspended, from cables above the roadway's surface. This contrasts with bridges whose roadways are supported from underneath.

What differentiates suspension bridges from normal bridges?
Suspension bridges are built to make use of tension, whereas most other types of bridges make use of compression to bear their load. Suspension bridges are usually designed with the deck suspended below a series of towers by cables. Other types of bridges are generally either designed with the deck being supported from below by pillars, or made up of an arch.
How much are suspension cables in suspension bridges allowed to stretch?
Strictly speaking, I do not know the answer
What are 2 kinds of suspension bridges?
Two common types of suspension bridges are the traditional suspension bridge and the self-anchored suspension bridge. Traditional suspension bridges, like the Golden Gate Bridge, rely on towers to support cables that carry the weight of the deck. In contrast, self-anchored suspension bridges, such as the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, use a design where the main cables are anchored to the bridge itself, allowing the structure to maintain stability without external anchoring points.
