Best Answer

The first balloon was invented by the Brazilian priest Bartolomeu de Gusmão, and the first public exhibition was to the Portuguese Court on August 8, 1709

  • In France in 1783 the Robert brothers built the first hydrogen balloon, designed by Jacques Charles. Later that year, the Montgolfier brothers demonstrated their own designs
  • The rubber balloon was invented by Michael Faraday in 1824; it was inflated with hydrogen and used in his experiments.
  • The more familiar latex balloons of today were first manufactured in London, 1847, by J.G. Ingram but mass production did not occur until the 1930s.

    Micheal Faraday invented the first rubber balloon.
