When was the water closet invented?

A water closet was the first name for "bathroom". Originally, a water closet only held a toilet and water bowl with pitcher (and bucket of water brought in from an outside pump). Though in 1596 John Harrington made the first flushing toilet, it wasn't until 1852 that Joseph Bramah of Yorkshire patented the first practical water closet in England. However, most rural areas in the US still had outhouses up until the 1950s. Though they had indoor plumbing for water, many people still used galvanized steel round tubs to bathe in, including with heating water on the kitchen stove. As more people got "bath tubs" and took baths in the once-water closets, the room became known as a "bath room", now as the compound word, bathroom. Note: Showers came even later.


Who invented the water closet?

The water closet, or modern flush toilet, is often attributed to Sir John Harington, an English courtier, who invented a version of it in the late 16th century. He installed his flushing toilet at his home in 1596, and it featured a cistern that would release water to flush waste away. However, the design and functionality of toilets evolved over the years, with significant contributions from others, including Thomas Crapper in the late 19th century, who popularized the modern flush toilet design.
