The pencil, as we know it today, was developed in the late 16th century when graphite was discovered in Borrowdale, England. The first wooden pencil was created by enclosing the graphite in a wooden casing. While specific individuals are not credited with its invention, the modern design was refined by various artisans over the years, with significant contributions from people like Hymen L. Lipman, who patented the first pencil with an eraser in the 1850s.
