Well, electricity never was created but rather it was there earlier than we ever would be able to find, along with all the other laws of Physics. What you should be asking is: When was electricity first discovered or when was electricity first harnessed.

It was discovered in 2750 BC where people got shocks from electric eels in the Nile but never understood them.

It was harnessed with the first generator. Go look it up.
