In the US and Canada, when you say "the pickle", you are usually talking about a pickled cucumber.

There is no historical reference to who "invented" the pickle. It most probably happened by accident. Someone most likely placed a cucumber in a jar of vinegar for flavor or preserving, forgot about it, and came back to find it had "pickled". The rest is...well, history!
