Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789, as an oxide in the mineral pitchblende. In 1841 Eugene Melchior Peligot isolated uranium as a pure metal.
Uranium's radioactive properties were discovered in 1896 by Antoine Becquerel.
Becquerel in 1896 discovered that uranium emit radiations.

No. The Curies did not discover uranium. They discovered polonium and radium, of which polonium is more radioactive.
Uranium, which Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant discover in the wine cellar, hidden in wine bottles.
Plutonium was discovered irradiating uranium with deuterons in 1940.
Uranium was discovered in 1789 (as an oxide in the mineral pitchblende) by Martin Heinrich Klaproth, studying a mineral sample from Joachimow. The pure uranium was obtained in 1841 by Eugene Melchior Peligot.
Polonium and radium are discovered in wastes from uranium minerals, after uranium separation. The important radioactivity of these residues (without uranium) warned the two about the possible existence of other radioactive elements.

Henri Becquerel was the first to discover that a penetrating radiation came from uranium, even if the uranium had not been exposed to sunlight. He thus showed that radioactivity was a fundamental property of uranium. Prior to his discovery, it was thought that any such radiation coming from uranium was the result of its interaction with sunlight.
Uranium was discovered by Martin Heinrich Klaproth, a German chemist, in the mineral pitchblende (a mix of uranium oxides) in 1789. Klaproth confused the oxide with the metal. In 1841 the French chemist Peligot isolated uranium as a pure metal element. Henry Becquerel (also a Frenchman) discovered the natural radioactivity of uranium in 1896.
