Wikipedia credits the initial development of the telescope to three men from the Netherlands: Hans Lippershey, Zacharias Janssen, and Jacob Metius in 1608. It's possible that earlier models existed, but we don't know who might have done it.
We do know that it wasn't Galileo, and it wasn't 1609, which was when Galileo received his telescope. Galileo did substantially improve the design of telescopes, and he was (to the best of our knowledge) the first person to point a telescope to the skies.

What were telescopes first used for?
Telescopes were first used for astronomical observations in the early 17th century, primarily to study celestial objects such as the Moon, planets, and stars. The first recorded use of a telescope for astronomy was by Galileo Galilei in 1609, who made significant discoveries including the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus. These advancements challenged existing views of the cosmos and laid the groundwork for modern astronomy. Ultimately, telescopes expanded our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
What age did Galileo discover the telescope?
Galileo made his first telescope in 1609, modeled after telescopes produced in other parts of Europe that could magnify objects three times. He created a telescope later that same year that could magnify objects twenty times. With this telescope, he was able to look at the moon,
Who is the inventor of binoculars?
There were many inventions of telescopes before the first binoculars telescope was invented by J. P. Lemiere in 1825. It is an older version of what one living today would call a binocular.
How long have people been using telescopes to explore the heavens?
People have been using telescopes to explore the heavens since the early 17th century. The first recorded use of a telescope for astronomical purposes was by Galileo Galilei in 1609, shortly after the invention of the device in the Netherlands. This marked the beginning of modern astronomy, enabling significant discoveries about celestial bodies and the universe. Since then, telescopes have evolved significantly, enhancing our understanding of the cosmos over the centuries.
