The first mention of the word "pastels" seems to be in the 17th century, but pastels are basically pigment plus a binder, which is hardly a new concept and dates back to prehistory; most cave "paintings" were done with what were, essentially, pastels.
Soft pastels, as we know them today, were developed in the 18th century by artists seeking a medium that combined the qualities of drawing and painting. Although the exact inventor is difficult to pinpoint, the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin is often credited with popularizing their use. The creation of modern soft pastels involved refining the pigment and binder mixture, allowing for a smoother application and richer colors. Over time, various manufacturers have contributed to their development and availability.
It was 1878
Pastels were first made in Italy during the 16th century. The technique gained popularity, particularly in the artwork of Italian Renaissance painters. By the 18th century, pastels became widely used in France, where they were embraced by artists like Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin and Antoine Watteau, further establishing their place in the art world.

The word pastel came from France, being made out of a list of words put together. I'm not sure when they were invented but the word was formed in 1662!
Basically, soft and oil pastels are made from the same powdered colour. They differ mainly in that soft pastels are bound with (probably) gum arabic, and oil pastels are bound with an oil. They give different effects. There are several types of pastels as a visit to an art shop will reveal.
The main differences between wax pastels and oil pastels are the binder used in each. Wax pastels use a wax binder, while oil pastels use an oil binder. Oil pastels are more vibrant and blendable, while wax pastels have a matte finish and are easier to layer. For your art project, if you want vibrant colors and easy blending, oil pastels would be more suitable. If you prefer a matte finish and layering, wax pastels would be a better choice.
There are primarily three types of pastels used in art: soft pastels, hard pastels, and oil pastels. Soft pastels have a higher pigment concentration and a creamy texture, allowing for vibrant colors and smooth blending. Hard pastels are firmer and produce finer lines, making them ideal for detailed work. Oil pastels, on the other hand, have a waxy consistency and allow for a different texture and layering technique, often resembling oil paint.
