How were magnets invented?

Magnets as such was not invented.Rocks containing the mineral Magnetite are naturally magnetic and were used as the first magnets.Later when humans understood the nature of and composition of materials in a magnetic rock we started to experiment and actually invented other types of magnets.1730 - Compound MagnetServigton Savery produces the first compound magnet by binding together a number of artificial magnets with a common pole piece at each end.1740 - First Commercial MagnetGowen Knight produces the first artificial magnets for sale to scientific investigators and terrestrial navigators.For more information, please check out Related link down below.
