The first telephone was made by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. Historians believe that another inventor Elisha Gray also invented the telephone at the same time independently and both the inventors rushed to the patent office to get their invention patented but Graham Bell got the patent first on March 7, 1876. Graham bell was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh Scotland. His father was a teacher of “visible speech” and helped teachers teach the deaf. Graham’s mother, a portrait painter and a musician lost her power of hearing when Graham was just twelve. Graham used to help his father in demonstrations and acquired expertise in “visible speech”. His expertise in deaf language and interest in electricity helped him in his invention.
