Barbed wire was invented in 1873 by Joseph Glidden, a farmer from DeKalb, Illinois. He patented his design, which featured sharp barbs attached to a wire strand, making it effective for Fencing cattle and marking property boundaries. Glidden's innovation revolutionized agriculture and ranching by providing a cost-effective and efficient way to enclose land. His barbed wire design became widely adopted and is still in use today.
