The Bass Clarinet, in the form we know it today, was invented in 1838, in Belgium by Adolph Sax, who later invented the Saxophone. There were earlier instruments which were Clarinet like and that played in the bass register, but they were generally not much like soprano clarinets of the time.

Why do bass clarinets play in orchestras?
Bass clarinets play in orchestras because orchestras sometimes play pieces that are scored for bass clarinet, or have bass clarinet parts in it. One example of a piece like that is The Rite Of Spring, by Igor Stravinsky. It has significant solos and duets by the bass clarinet, and "the show cannot go on" without the bass clarinet. But most pieces, do not have bass clarinet parts, so the bass clarinet is rarely seen in orchestras today.
