Acrylic plastic is a synthetic polymer. It was developed in the late 1920's "in various labs" meaning there was a lot of parallel development and there is no "one place" or "one time" when it popped into existence. It is attractive, tough, durable, soft enough to work with standard hand and machine tools, reasonably priced and widely available. But it can be scratched easily and may not come in the "right" color or shape as stock for a construction project. Good luck with yours.
