Some of the earliest influences on what we now consider the scientific method were by the Greeks, notably Aristotle(384-322 BC) and Archimedes (287-212 BC).

During the "Islamic Golden Age", important contributions were made by Geber (Abu Musa Jābir ibn Hayyān al azdi, 721-815), Alkindus (Abū Yūsuf Yaʻqūb ibn Isḥāq al-Kindī, 801-873) and especially by the Arab scholar Alhazen (Ibn Al-Haytham, 965-1039).

Later Persian scientists expanded on experimental methodology, including Al-Buruni (Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī) and Avicenna (Abū Alī Sīnā).

The coming of the European Renaissance provided insights by Robert Grosseteste in the 12th Century, Roger Baconin the 13th, and Galileo (1564-1642).
Francis Bacon was the first to formalize the concept of a true scientific method, but he didn't do so in a vacuum. The work of Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) and Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) influenced Bacon tremendously.

It grew gradually during the Renaissance, when it was realised that just saying 'God made things' was not sufficient explanation.
