The invention is credited to several scientists, including Cornelis Drebbel, Robert Fludd, Galileo Galilei, and Santorio Santorio (Sanctorius of Padua), all of whom lived between 1550 and 1650. However, many of the devices were so-called thermoscopes, which indicated temperature change but did not quantify it.

The application of a scale is variously credited to Santorio or to Franscisco Sagredo (a friend of Galileo), between 1611 and 1614.

The first universal scale was designed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724, followed by the scale of Anders Celsius in 1742.
