Under the related links, there is a wonderful site with the history of the hamburger.

Technically a "version" of the burger was originated as early as 1209 by Genghis Kahn; however, the hamburger as we know it was probably first known in the 1800's.

According to

The Origin of Hamburgers and Ketchup, by Prof. Giovanni Ballarini:

The origin of the hamburger is not very clear, but the prevailing version is that at the end of 1800' s, European emigrants reached America on the ships of the Hamburg Lines and were served meat patties quickly cooked on the grill and placed between two pieces of bread.
