Where was a capacitor invented?

My guess is that the first capacitor that was constructed to hold an electrical charge was the Leyden Jar. It was invented in 1745 by Ewald Georg von Kleist, Jean-Antoine Nollet, and Pieter van Musschenbroek.

As the name implies, it is a glass jar that can hold static electricity for long periods. It was actually invented by accident, the inventors didn't set out to create it.
