The first known rollerskates were created by Belgian inventor John Joseph Merlin in 1760. He designed skates that featured two wooden wheels, which he demonstrated at a high-society party, showcasing his invention. However, it wasn't until later in the 19th century that roller skating gained popularity, with improvements made to the design and functionality of skates.
