The first flatboats are believed to have been developed in the late 1700s, primarily in the United States. These boats were designed for easy transport of goods and people along rivers, particularly in the Ohio and Mississippi River systems. They played a significant role in early American commerce and settlement. The design evolved from earlier types of boats, reflecting the needs of the growing frontier economy.
