No-one did! A guy called Daniel Fahrenheit proposed a temperature scale where one of the reference points was the temperature of the boiling point of water which he arbitrarilly set at 212 degrees or more precisly 2120F
This scale is now only used in the US the rest of us have switched to Celsius (often called centigrade) where the boiling point of water is 1000C
