The first official thermometer was a Mercury thermometer, which used the thermal expansion/contraction coefficient of mercury to determine the temperature of the immediate area. In other words they measured how much mercury expanded per degree (Fahrenheit) and placed it in a tube with markers that would show how much the mercury had expanded, thus showing the temperature.
