The first "Clarinet" was created around the turn of the 18th century, in Germany by J. Denner (father or son not known for sure). But the clarinet developed from a Baroque instrument called the chalumeau, similar to the recorder but with a single reed mouthpiece similar to that of the modern clarinet and a cylindrical bore.

∙ 12y agoThe Clarinet came from a folk instrument called the chalumeau. This instrument had significantly less capability than the modern clarinet. It's range resembles that of the clarinet's lower register.
Anyway, someone along the way (there are numerous arguments as to who), somebody added a register key to the clarinet. This made the instrument more nimble and increased it's range. This lead to it's use as a barnyard instrument that was used much like the Electric Guitar is used in today's society.
Eventually it accumulated keys and because part of the standard orchestral instrumentation around the time of Mozart.
