Pluto was discovered in 1930 by the astronomer Clyde Tombaugh.
The existence of Pluto was predicted by perturbations of the orbit of Neptune late in the 19th century. Percival Lowell looked for it, and did photograph Pluto in 1915, but didn't recognize what he had seen. The task of finding the planet was given to Clyde W. Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory in Arizona. He did a very careful sky survey which identified Pluto in photos taken on February 18, 1930 and announced it on March 13, 1930
