Titanium was discovered in 1791 by the British clergyman and amateur geologist, William Gregor. He discovered the element in the mineral known as ilmenite (iron titanium oxide) found in the river sands of the Parish of Mannacan in Cornwall, England.
Later in 1795, the German scientist Martin Heinrich Klaproth independently discovered titanium in rutile. He confirmed Gregor's discovery and named it titanium after the Titans in Greek mythology. However, pure titanium was not isolated until 1910 by Matthew A. Hunter, an American engineer.
