Per Wikipedia.org, the book "Woodworking Machinery, Its Rise, Progress and Construction 1800-1880" claims that the first recorded patent for the circular saw was in 1777 to an Englishman, Samuel Miller. However Miller references a circular saw created in Holland in the 16th or 17th century as an inspiration for his work.

Based on this, most believe the concept of using a circular saw blade to cut wood that was pushed into, and towards it, probably developed sometime in the late 1700s or early 1800s. Note, this was obviously before electricity, thus, these early saws, which were the forerunners to table saws, used human power, via foot pedals, or water power to drive the saw blades. This is why many early saw mills were built along rivers to capture water to power a water wheel and saw blade.
