Electricity occurs naturally in lightning and static, which must have caused wonderment for many years.
It was known how to make batteries for many years, by pioneers such as Micheal Faraday, Voltair, Leclanche and Franklin.
But no one knew what to use it for.
There is even suspicion that a mysterious pot found in Baghdad, dating back thousands of years, could have been an early battery. known as the 'Baghdad battery'.
Electricity was known about for centuries, but no one knew what it was, it's relationship with magnetism, or what to use it for, until the 1800's.

Which is easier to extract iron or aluminum?
Aluminium needs electricity to extract it in big amounts, so it was only after electricity was discovered that aluminum could be produced. Iron ore is found in Europe and is also quite straight forward to extract the metal using rudimentary processes. The use of metals were generally first used in Europe. Aluminium is found mostly outside Europe and the extraction process is very complex and requires huge amounts of heat energy (usually supplied using electricity) that early man just couldn't make at the temperatures and timescales required. In the 1800's aluminum was more expensive then gold was because of the difficulties in obtaining it. It exists in nature as a compound and is not found in a natural state. The earlies metals such as Iron can be found in lumps of meteorites and deposits, usually heavily oxidized, but easily smelted in fires.
