The modern zipper was invented in the United States by Whitcomb Judson, who patented his design in 1893. However, it was not until 1913, when Gideon Sundback improved upon Judson's design, that the zipper became a practical and widely used fastening device. Sundback's version was developed in Hoboken, New Jersey, and is often credited as the prototype for the zippers we use today.
