Butter was discovered when goat skins of milk carried on the backs of camels across the desert turned into butter. From 1790 to 1893, patent records show 2,440 devices were invented to churn cream into butter, so making butter has always been important.

AnswerSince even accidental agitation can turn cream into butter, it is likely that the invention of butter goes back to the earliest days of dairying, perhaps in the Mesopotamian area between 9000 and 8000 BCE. The Greeks used it to eat and used it to oil their skin instead of lotion.
