The modern pencil, as we know it today, was developed in England in the 16th century. The discovery of a large deposit of graphite in Borrowdale, Cumbria, led to the creation of the first pencils, which were wooden cases containing graphite rods. While earlier forms of writing instruments existed, England is credited with the invention of the modern pencil design.
