Whitcomb Judson, born in 1844 in Illinois, invented the zipper in the late 1880s as a replacement for shoelaces on boots. His initial zipper design was improved by a Swedish engineer in the early 1900s, making it more streamlined and reliable. The zipper then became widely successful and is now commonly used on items like bags, clothes, shoes, and more.
