Magnets as such were not invented. Natural occurring mineral like Magnetite are magnetic.

We have since approx 1730 been able to artificially make magnets. These days we can design a magnet to almost any shape and also give it a "charge" of almost any pattern we like. Magnets are still in the area of experimenting and inventions still happen in this field. Scientists these days search for a method in order to make a monopole.
